I spent most of my time blogging. I cooked a lot of food recipes and uploaded it in my blog daily. As years passed YUMMY TUMMY has become a part of my life.

1. Tell us about your background and journey.

My name is Aarthi Satheesh, a food blogger, food photographer, recipe creator and YouTuber. I am a happy homemaker, married to my high school sweetheart and blessed mother of two beautiful angels.

Yummy Tummy was started around 9 years back. I started my blog as a tiny little space where I can share my recipes with my friends and family. Later it turned into my career.

2. When did you decide you wanted to be a writer/food blogger?

I used to cook different food items for my friends at work. They started asking for the recipe. That was a turning point for me, so I decided to start my very own blog where I can share my recipes. My work was a research based one and it went pretty well, but I found that something was lacking in that.

I realised that this is not what I wanted to do in my life. After a lot of thinking and discussion with my husband. I took a brave decision to quit my job with my family’s support. Yes I quit my job to continue my passion.

This blog was a tiny one before, but as days passed it received a lot of appreciation and my viewers count started increasing. I spent most of my time blogging. I cooked a lot of food recipes and uploaded it in my blog daily. As years passed YUMMY TUMMY has become a part of my life.

3. Is it a financially stable career?

Of course it is. It will take years of hard-work to reach that level.

4. Where does your inspiration lie?

The person I look upto is Nigella lawson. She is my inspiration. I started cooking only after seeing her shows.

6. What piece of advice would you like to give to future aspiring writers?

Follow your passion and keep working for it. It may be hard, the path may be rough. When you feel like quitting, always remember why your started this journey in the first place.

I am not much of a book reader. But I love going through cookbooks.
