About Me

Hi! I’m Dr. Nandita Iyer, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I started Saffron Trail in 2006 as a creative outlet—combining my love for writing and cooking. Over the years, it has become a go-to resource for healthy vegetarian recipes, nutrition insights, and mindful living.

A doctor by training, I pursued advanced studies in nutrition to bridge the gap between medicine and everyday healthy eating. I have written 4 books on healthy eating, nutrition, cooking and mindful living. I also write a fortnightly column for Mint Lounge, conduct cooking workshops, deliver talks on healthy lifestyles and share my food adventures on social media.

I live in Bangalore, a city known for its traffic, great weather, and legendary masala dosa. When I’m not cooking or writing, I brew kombucha, sing Hindustani classical music, or nurture my indoor jungle.
