About


We are Krishna and Sonya and we welcome you to Lunchinista – a blog about...you guessed it - LUNCH!

We started this blog because I miss flying to Paris, Rome, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, London, Singapore…you get the point...for delicious lunches! Yep, in my prior life I worked for a French company and traveled the world!  

We are a mother-daughter duo living in Maryland.  When Sonya was younger, she was a very picky eater.   I had to make sure she was not in the kitchen when I was cooking because if she saw something she did not like, ...anchovies, anyone? - she wouldn’t eat it!  So, we started something we like to call “Sunday Dinners”.  Every Sunday I would try out a new recipe and she would rate it with either a thumbs up, thumbs sideways, or thumbs down.  If it was a thumbs up, we added it to our weekly menu.  We have been doing this for many years now and have experimented on friends and family as well.  Now, we would like to share our thumbs up recipes with you! 

We decided to blog about lunch because there aren’t many lunch ideas out there for adults.  We are going to try to put a new spin on lunch time with an international twist!  We hope you enjoy reading and cooking with us!

So goodbye turkey sandwiches. Hello to lunches from around the world!
