hi, I’m Kara

A brand called Kara

I’ve been told my authenticity is unmatched, and I won’t lie: I don’t candy-coat much of anything. The one thing I have to offer the world is me, and that comes through in my cooking.

I’m a private chef in Colorado. I cook Indian food with my husband Prashant, who grew up with a masala dabba and not a jar of curry powder. I bake gluten-free desserts even though I will defend a proper sourdough to my grave. And I tell the real stories behind the food, including the hard ones.

I’m also unapologetically faithful to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I won’t preach at you every post, but I won’t hide it either.

I’m going for it

I’m writing a collection of my original recipes. This site is where they get tested, organized, and loved before they ever hit a page.
