Chef Meena Sreenivas is a professionally trained chef who took her love for cooking to the next level thanks to a great education and mentoring from the chefs at Hudson County Community College's Culinary Arts Institute in Jersey City, New Jersey. She grew up watching her mom and grandmother cook authentic South Indian dishes from her homeland of Kerala. This passion drove her to experiment with cooking the food of her culture while also incorporating other cuisines that we all know and love. Sreenivas's dishes are influenced by a mix of traditional Indian, French, and American cuisines. She has ideas and dishes with no boundaries, and creates flavors for your palate made with the professionalism of a true chef but also the heart of a home cook.
