Brijeshwari Kumari Gohil, the princess of Bhavnagar, is known for her passion for art and heritage. However, few people know she also likes cooking, a hobby she developed during the Covid-19 pandemic. Gohil grew up in Mumbai and spent most of her childhood in the city. After completing her education, she returned to Bhavnagar, where she has been deepening her connection to her roots. This connection extends beyond her family`s historical role in shaping Bhavnagar and includes exploring her culinary heritage.
For most of her life, the princess has enjoyed meals from the royal kitchens, known for their delicious, opulent, and grand dishes. These meals typically featured Continental cuisine for lunch, which she notes was lighter on flavours and spices, while evenings were reserved for more traditional Indian classics. However, the Covid-19 pandemic marked a personal culinary journey. This period inspired her to experiment with the royal family’s time-honoured dishes, such as finding ways to replace game meat with chicken and other alternatives.
