Hello and welcome to The Crave Diary – a space where flavors meet stories, and cultures come alive through food.
I’m Hashini, a food & bioprocess graduate, food enthusiast, researcher, and Sri Lankan by heart. While I may not be a professional chef, I’ve always been fascinated by the way food connects people – across borders, generations, and emotions. I created this blog not just to share recipes, but to dive into the cultural stories, spices, traditions, and techniques behind the meals we love.
Here at Crave Diary, you’ll find:
- Curated recipes from across Asia – including homestyle Sri Lankan meals, iconic street food, and fusion ideas.
- Cultural explorations – why certain dishes exist, where they come from, and what they mean.
- Beginner guides – pantry essentials, cooking techniques, and food trends.
- Personal stories – whether it’s the aroma of Amma’s curries.
You don’t have to be a culinary expert to enjoy this space. Whether you’re a curious foodie, a traveler missing home, or just someone looking for your next favorite dish – you’re in the right place.
🌱 New posts every week.

With love,
Hashini 🌸
