After more than decade of working in environmental/forestry & eco-tourism projects, while actively running a catering service of soups and salads called the Fearless Olive and writing on Archaeology and cultural heritage, this blog is an ode to all my love interests!

I took my love of food and archaeology one step forward by returning to school for another Masters in Heritage Management which helped me validate my passion. I studied in Greece, researching the super-food carob on the island of Crete & my research jump-started a campaign, that got carob inscribed in the National Inventory for Greece on Intangible Cultural Heritage. Back home in Dhaka, I continue working in the broader environment sector while I write sporadically.

This blog is a culmination of all that I love, with videos, podcasts and blogs, on everything history, archaeology – & of course food. It also serves as a small attempt to bring out the hidden treasures in the layered history of Bangladeshi cuisine and its place on the world’s food atlas.

Oh & just in case you might be interested… I love cats, steaming cups of chai (sans sugar!) and mystery novels!
