We feel like we’ve sauntered onto a set of a television cookery show when we step into Flavour Diaries, a month-old food studio in a Khar bylane. Natural light fills through the French windows, washing over the cookbook-stacked mahogany shelves and vibrant sofas. Offering a view of verdant surroundings, the large space features state-of-the-art cooking stations and dining tables.
