Application for steemit challenge season 28| "Local Taste with Global Twist!"

Hello steemit team!!

I am very excited to share my individual application for the Steemit Challenge Season 28, where I will discuss my ideas on what I plan to contribute.

Food connects us all, but how often do we stop and think about how a single dish can travel the world? That is why in this season, we’re going to be blending local traditions with global imagination. You’ll explore new ways to cook, present, and tell stories through your favorite meals.

Whether you’re a chef, home cook, or creative foodie, this is your chance to show how one local recipe can become a global dish.

It’s not just about cooking, it’s about reimagining culture, creativity, and taste. Cooking is art, and your imagination is the main ingredient.
