Let's face it. We all need someone who can tell us exactly what celebrities, influencers, tastemakers, founders, and movers and shakers have in their little black book. So, we became that person, and we’re shining the spotlight on Sonal Ved, an author, journalist, and digital editor. If you've been following Sonal's journey then you'd know about her on-point puns, food-related memes, her writings on publications such as Food52 and The Guardian, and of course her cookbook journeys — she has two food books that have made it to the New York Times — Tiffin and Whose Samosa is it Anyway? She's authored two more cookbooks — India Local: Classic Street Food Recipes and The Indian Vegan: Easy Recipes For Everyday Cooking. Whether you are a foodie or just love everything related to food and more, Sonal is your person. We went one step further than Instagram stalking and got her to tell us some of her favourite things. Read on!
A Few Of Sonal Ved’s Favourite Things
The Dearist
When it comes to skincare, The Dearist's clay mask and rose water are right there at the top of her list of favourites. She recommends trying their 10-day skin detox regimen to reset your skin.
Theater
If you are looking for, in Sonal's words, "incredible homegrown footwear and stockings", then you need to check out Theater. The brand does footwear, jewellery, and accessories as well.
Indigo Dreams
Favourite Restaurants In Mumbai: Paradox And The Bombay Canteen
Paradox, even though it's a bar, "I'm obsessed with their food", says Sonal about Paradox, which is mostly known for their cocktails. O,h and the summer menu at The Bombay Canteen? It slaps!
Favourite Travel Destination: Chettinad
When it comes to her favourite travel destinations in the world, it's about incredible India. To her, Chettinad is India's answer to Versailles. There is beauty in every corner.
Favourite Boutique Homestays: Brij Rama And Kaas by Safarnama
She didn't expect Varanasi to be on her list, but she was left impressed with Brijrama and Kaas by Safarnama in Varanasi. Brijama is a palace hotel by the Ganges, and it's a classical, heritage hotel, with all the luxe and royal factors tailored in. Kaas by Safarnama, on the other hand, is a perfect boutique hotel if you want a no-fuss and frill-free stay.
