Reviews
I was part of a group that went on a spiritual journey in South India during which we had the privilege of staying in the kingdom of Efrat Dvir. A place immersed in jungle greenery, where the beauty of nature overwhelms the senses from all sides. Efrat is a great cook, everything that comes out of her hands is incredibly delicious and full of aesthetics.
The generosity of the heart and the wisdom of life that radiates from Efrat,
provided an enriching and exciting experience, located inside Auroville, which is a unique place and worth a visit in itself.

About Me
Nice to meet you, I'm Efrat—a culinary professional, artist, and writer. Since 2000, I've been based in Tamil Nadu, sharing stories of local food and traditional family cooking through my culinary lens.
My journey combines a deep passion for Middle Eastern cuisine, which I grew up with and have professionally practiced, alongside extensive experience cooking in India.
In Auroville, I continue to explore the rich tapestry of flavors, colors, stories, and culinary traditions, reflecting on my life in Tamil Nadu—from the lush forest surroundings to my role as a 'culinary ambassador,' introducing Indian cuisine abroad and sharing Middle Eastern flavors in India.

Food is a connection, something we share, speak of, and tell stories about.
Cooking is an adventure and a journey into new areas of taste.
It's a way to express on a plate what we cannot always put into words.
We share who we are through food.
Where Else Can We Meet
It is a great privilege to cook, to listen to the flavours that tell a story,
write them, illustrate them and feed through them.
Looking forwards to meet with you
Best regards,
Efrat
