Career

Sunderani developed an interest in cooking as a child, and dabbled in vegan cooking during college as a way of coping with IBS.^[4]^[5] She was initially hesitant to becoming fully vegan,^[6] and did not commit until 2016 when she and her husband moved to France.^[6]^[5]^[4] She launched her Two Spoons blog as a way to document vegan cooking while in France.^[6] Sunderani notes that she was inspired by what she describes as a "shift happening with traditional French recipes and putting a vegan spin on it," which she discovered after the move.^[4] Her goal was to develop an approach to French cooking that demonstrated that "you don’t need the butter. You don’t need the egg."^[4]

In 2019 she returned to Toronto, and turned her Two Spoons blog into her job. She published her cookbook in 2022, and it became a bestseller.^[4]^[5]
