Kothu Fest, the largest Tamil food festival, showcasing a blend of food, music, and culture, was held in downtown Toronto this weekend.

Tharshan placed first at the “Grand Prix de la Baguette de Traditional Francaise de la Ville De Paris,” the most revered baguette competition.

"I had a very supportive partner. When I had so much conviction in the potential, my partner said let's do it. My mom is a bit more traditional and I said I should do it part-time and keep working. It’s been two years and it still doesn’t pay me anything close to my corporate job. That’s how I knew that I truly do it for the passion and not the money."

"Panjiri is a traditional recipe used for years in our culture, which contains many nutrients and health benefits. Generally given to lactating and pregnant women, it has benefits for everyone."
