Hello! I’m Koel Mishra, aka your fun hostess at The Cozy Cooking Lab!

I’ve loved the art of cooking since I was a little child, helping my mother in the kitchen and learning from her. We would bake cakes together, and those moments became some of my fondest memories.

Fast forward to my master’s—living alone meant cooking for myself. At first, it was frustrating; my food was either half-cooked or completely inedible. But the little child in me never gave up. I kept trying, experimenting, and learning. And somewhere along the way, I realized that my love for food wasn’t just about flavors—it was about the way food brings people together like nothing else in the world.

I created this page to share that joy, to bring people closer through food, and to take you along on my cooking adventures. Let’s cook, laugh, and make memories together!
