Sreeja Jayaram is a Chef, Author, Photographer and Entrepreneur. When she’s not curating
recipes for her restaurant or writing about food, you can find Sreeja with her pet beagle or
the adorable stray cat that has adopted her.
Happy Breakfasts, her book on beautiful morning meals, is yet another way her love for
delicious, healthy food has found a voice. This book is about tongue-tickling food, healthy
recipes and pure decadence; for pulses and potatoes, greens and golden pudding,
vegetables and waffles, made carefully with generous amounts of homemade happiness.
Happiness is a Stomach Full, her book celebrating honest-to-goodness recipes from Kerala
cuisine, won The World Gourmand Award for Best Local cuisine. A repertoire of delicious
recipes passed on by her grandmother and mother have found their rightful place in this
book. It became a culinary experience that signified everything that good food should be –
fresh, healthy and unforgettable. With her books, she has presented this thought to every gourmet, chef, and explorer of cuisines.
Kurrymeen, her restaurant in Bangalore, serves carefully prepared, authentic Kerala cuisine.
With the realization that wholesome, healthy food not just satiates hunger but also enriches
the soul, a Thalasseri biryani, as well as a fluffy idly is made with the same dedication and
expertise. The carefully chosen menu at Kurrymeen is all about providing an unforgettable
culinary experience, teasing the taste buds and wishing you wellness.
She has a Master’s degree in Biochemistry. A chance meeting with one of the finest
photographers and filmmakers in Bangalore led to a seven-year stint in advertising that gave
precious insights into the finer aspects of advertisement films and photography.
