About Us
Pushpa Joisher, a visionary entrepreneur at the age of 65, embarked on a remarkable culinary venture known as Vintage Recipes. Her venture focuses on crafting authentic, pure heirloom recipes, with a particular emphasis on condiments, side dishes, health partners, and a unique Nourished Mumma Menu. Passed down through generations, these recipes bear the wisdom of Pushpa's mother, grandmother, and, most notably, her mother-in-law, who believed that an Indian kitchen is a complete pharmacy in itself. Taking ritucharita (seasonal lifestyle practices) into consideration, Pushpa ensures that her offerings reflect the traditions of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers while embracing climatic conditions.
