Who am I


I am Top Food Mane  My name Jitendra Sharma “search for insight” (Many readers have asked me the meaning of my name and hence I have mentioned it).


My life journey has had many ups and downs but there is a constant thread of spirituality in it.


Practicing meditation very early in my life has helped me a long way and continues to help me even now and my family.

More About The Blog

I started https://topfoodmane.blogspot.com in February 2018 to keep a log (online journal) of my family recipes and the ones which I had developed back then along with the recipes I was trained in.


It was on the insistence of my husband that I started maintaining this online journal. Of course I had no idea back then that my blog would grow so much and become India’s most popular vegetarian food blog.


Initially our brand name was “Veg Recipes of India” which we later changed in June 2020 to “Dassana’s Veg Recipes“. This brand change was made to broaden our vision of sharing vegetarian recipes from all over the world and not just specific to Indian cuisine.


We also felt that since I was trained professionally in cooking, baking, confectionary and having experience of International as well as Indian cuisine, it was time to showcase that on the blog.


You see I have done my graduation in Home Science and was trained both in mainstream Indian as well as International cuisines. I also have worked as an intern in a five star hotel.


Whatever I know about cooking, baking and confectionery is thanks to my training in food science, food technology, nutrition & dietetics.


Even before getting trained professionally, I already knew the basics of cooking as I learnt it from my elders right from the age of 10. Cooking is one art that is deeply instilled in me.


About The Recipes

We have 560  recipes shared in this span of 3 years and is one of the largest collection of pure Indian  recipes which have been tried and tested and presented with step by step photos.

The recipes are also shared with many tips and suggestions so that it is easier for anyone to make them easily.


Many of our blog fans, readers 


nd patrons love our recipes. We are also grateful to our readers for giving us blessings, positive vibes and good wishes.


Positive energy does make a difference. The testimonial to this fact is the hundreds of positive comments, reviews and mentions we have on our popular recipes like:


ll the recipes are tried and tested in our kitchen first and then only shared on the blog. I keep the homemaker in mind and make the recipes. So that it is easy and one does not have to hunt around for ingredients – specifically ingredients which are not easily available in India.


The recipes shared are taken from our families, relatives, friends. Some recipes are adapted from my cooking school and a few from cookbooks. Some recipes I have been making on my own for many years.


Some recipes are the ones which I have created and developed. Whenever I adapt a recipe from any cookbook or website, I always give its reference.


f the recipe is of my mother or mother-in-law or of any friend then that is also mentioned in the post.


Our Food Motto

We always prefer home cooked food whether it is making a simple Pizza or a loaf of bread or Chocolate cake. we believe in cooking with fresh ingredients that are easily available.

We avoid using heavily processed food or junk food. As a result we have sound health in our family. We do not fall ill or spend any money on the doctors. Eat healthy and stay healthy is our motto.

On the blog you will find many healthy recipes made with whole grains and cereals. Even in many of my baking recipes, I have used healthy ingredients wherever possible.

Even before I started to blog, I would buy organic and this habit has stayed even today. All our grocery stuff is organic produce from grains to sugar and flours.

We even purchase organic vegetables and fruits. I cannot get all the vegetables & fruits organic in India. But I do buy whatever we can. Hence you will see fewer gourmet fruits or imported vegetables recipes on the blog.


We buy local vegetables and fruits to ensure that this supports the farmers of our country.

We also make sure to share some regional recipes made from rare ingredients or veggies which are not very popular or well known. We have tried to share at least one recipe of such an ingredient. E.g. We have covered many gourd varieties.

We have shared recipes of ingredients which are available only in some Indian states like fresh jowar grains, lotus stem, amaranth leaves, colocasia leaves, Chinese potato
