Hey! hi
, my name is Suganya Hariharan, speaker behind RelishTheBite. My “factual job” is writing SQL queries 😉 for my Quality Control analyst position and in cooking department: I do the cooking, writing, and photography for the blog 🙂 . I live in Montreal, Canada but originally from Chennai, India. I am certain you can observe that from my looks and outfit from my photo 😉
Reason behind “Relish The Bite”:
I was a pampered kid back home. Always there was fresh hot food readily served on the table whenever I came home. Like everyone I was pushed to a situation to cook when I came for my studies to Montreal leaving my parents in India. I surely have to mention that I used to trouble my close ones and continue to trouble them with my new recipes, but they were too nice to bare it 😉 mostly. Out of nowhere, one day I started dreaming about creating a food blog. But I had a small fear that it may be too late, there are so many great food blogs out there. How will mine make a difference or stand out in that big league. Then i gave a fine thought. Someday my great grand kids would want a recipe, and they can dig into this. They may or may not. I may not have some great savings, time for my family and friends but why not something like this which can always stay in their memories. And also mine :D! I can always develop more ones looking back my old recipes 🙂 . Why not create my own food chronicle. And top of all this, I was wondering processing my mind about what is giving me happiness in life from all the tiny concerns and stress. And I strongly believe that it is Cooking that makes me move on, gives me back my smile when I lost it somewhere: Why not spread that joy 🙂 .
And other Facts:
I enjoy cycling on my bike ,singing, dressing up , walking top of the mount just to see my dearest city Montreal on its beauteous way and of course shopping( just not shopping clothes.. even grocery shopping excites me!) . I love eating more than cooking. No wonder 😉 I guess I should stop now as I could easily list 100 and more.

Hi Suki,
A big hello to you.
Came across your site through a facebook group called Vegetarian recipes in which I am also member.
When I read your about me page, I could relate to it much. I too share your same story; learnt cooking the hard way when I had gone for my studies in UK and missed home food like anything.
Your photos are really nice, and your blog looks great. Would love to know which camera u are using.
Anyways, as a blogger who have started a journey myself, I thought I would pop in and say a hi. Wishing you good luck.
Btw, your picture is cool. You look beautiful.
Thanks for the blog
Regards
Vaishak

Nice recipe blog 🙂
Nice One 😉

Sugabya I just recently came across your blog and I think it is indeed one of the best by far. Recipes are creative and alot of thought has gone into finally presenting them here. Kudos to you. Young as you are you inspire me to start one myself. All the best. Prem
thank you Prem
Suki,
Late aah vanthalum latest aah vantheenga. The vegan in me is super glad to stumble upon your recipies. As for shopping, yes I get hyper excited for grocery or Goodwill alike. So glad to” meet” you on here.
🙂 haha 🙂 good to meet you too 🙂
Can I ask how and why you started featuring vegan recipes? I ask because I don’t come across a lot of folks of Indian origin who host vegan recipes. Thanks Suki.
I feature all recipes 🙂 and i find lot of Indian bloggers feauture vegetarian recipes which can be easily adaptable too. 🙂
Thanks!
Thank you very much for your recipes – they are very easy to follow. I stumbled across your website and have been able to do two recipes in one afternoon and they were a hit with all the family 🙂
Thankyou so much 🙂
Hi suki. I tried your breast of lamb recipe. Khaki ghost. I did it for about 5 hours in a a slow cooker. It was one of the best curries that i have had for ages. It is years since I cooked a curry using spices. We got into the habit of using the jars of paste. The difference with your recipe was amazing. It has made me enthusiastic about cooking curries again. 1 question. The ingredients suggest 2 tablespoons of salt. Is that correct. I just used 2 teaspoons.
I am really looking forward to trying some more of your recipes. Mike
Thank you so much 🙂
You foods make me feel the homely!!
Thank you so much 🙂
Hi! So I know you for a very short period of time, but I must say its an honour to meet such a person like you! Being am amateur, I was under the impression that I will only have YouTube anda few sties to follow Indian cooking, but now I do not need those resources!
Thank you and I am eagerly looking forward to more of your recipes ! 🙂
good article
You are an inspiration, I just started my new insta cooking page, I am married with two kids work for supply chain management in Coimbatore, however my passion for cooking increased after my marriage, you know men will be the best cook if their wife give more room.
My story goes exactly like yours, pampered child from Chennai goes to study in Canada with no cooking skills.
I somehow stumbled on yours from Google. Did two dishes from your list and finally was curious to find who made this blog. Damn from Chennai 🔥😇.
I’m contining to do more dishes.
Thanks a lot!!!
thanks for the post
