You have already met Theyie through her writings on this blog. Now I would like to introduce the newest face to join the APB family.
Arina Suchde, might be known amongst food circles for her stint with Tulleeho and the many workshops she has conducted for them. I met her via them when they backed me up for a workshop I did. What I did not know then and most do not know even now, however, is that Arina has been a foodie for most of her life.


For those of you who are curious about her, Theyie is the opposite of Arina. She really is Mad about Meat. Don’t believe me? You will when I tell you she trips on cooking with meat (like we didn’t know), bamboo shoot, axone (pronounce Ahone this is a Naga fermented bean paste) gojujang, angothi (ahoti) a Naga ingredient that goes well with beef, she loves the smell of roasting meat, and the smell of beef at that precise moment when the fat melts. The sound of meat spitting on firewood is music to her ears. Her sole vegetarian pleasures are Bhindi and dal – which she can have in any form and in copius amounts. Theyie is mystified that anyone would pay to eat vegetarian food at a restaurant, cooks fabulously , is a fountain of knowledge on Naga cuisine, and loves to exercise her appalling Hindi with Natasha (my daughter) every chance she gets. In case you have missed it, Theyie writes lovely foodie letters about Naga cuisine (mostly) to me as Dear Rushina every Monday and goes Mad Over Meat on Tuesdays.

Our weekly ‘strategy’ meetings are a riot, with the first 15 mins spent deciding what to order (or what to cook), and constant distractions as we update each other on what we ate while apart or something we cooked or ... well you get the picture....
And for those of you not in the know, A Perfect Bite recently got itself a spanking new PAGE ON FACEBOOK, please, do join to stay updated on the antics we get up to behind the scenes! In fact here is a behind the scenes look at the Cupcake shoot we did for mE Magazine!
