About Us

Hi, I'm Sujatha Muralidhar, the heart and soul of PepperBowl.com. I live in a picturesque town in Central Pennsylvania surrounded by flowing creeks and rolling hills.

I share delicious, effortless American and global dishes with a pinch of heat on this website. Here, you'll find curries and popular Mexican, Caribbean, and Thai recipes(just enough to satisfy the cravings of your favorite restaurant dishes).

I use ingredients that are easy to find so that you can pick them up from your local store. Plus, if a recipe calls for some special ingredients, I make sure to provide tips on how and where to find them easily.

If you're curious about adding a bit of zest to your meals, you've found your spot.

My Qualifications

I hold two master's degrees: one in Commerce and one in Philosophy of Commerce(where I learned about research methodologies). 

During my college studies, my passion for food led me to complete a certification course on food preservation(where I learned food and its preservation techniques).

Fast-forward to 2024. I'm pursuing a year-long professional certification program at Harvard University in the Science of Cooking. Knowing the science behind food helps me create dishes with the best flavors and textures. 

Pursuing a degree at Harvard University was my dream, and achieving it with my passion makes it all the more rewarding.

About PepperBowl

2012, I started this pepperbowl: a name inspired by my love for 'chili peppers' and my son's love for the 'Super Bowl.' 

Initially, this website was a portal to organize my family's favorite recipes. But after a while, when my dashboard started showing the visitors in sparkling green dots across the globe, my perspective towards the website changed.

Since then, the relationship between our readers has developed and is still going strong. Thus, a personal project has become an unexpectedly public venture with celebrated spicy food inspired by global flavors. 

Thank you for all your support; without you, I could not come this far. I'm grateful for the immense love and encouragement. 

Please provide us with your views and suggestions; your words keep us moving forward. 

What can you find on PepperBowl.com?

Here, you can find everything from spicy delights to classic comfort dishes perfect for an American kitchen. I ensure each recipe is effortless, quick to prepare, and delicious to taste, making it perfectly suitable for any kitchen skill level.

All my recipes have mild to moderate heat. No worries; I'll also discuss adjusting the heat level to suit your preference. Plus, we'll explore possible substitutions and cooking tips for the best results.

Join us as we continue to explore and celebrate the joys of spicy cooking together!

When I'm not in the kitchen?

If it's over the weekend, you can see me hiking on our local trail(my heart is with our gorgeous nearby hiking trails), walking with the dog outdoors, sketching with pens, or listening to podcasts(I need someone to talk to me all the time).  

A little more about me

Here's a peek into my personal life:

  • My software professional husband is my biggest supporter and the official taste tester for PepperBowl.com.
  • Our son, a recent graduate who turned into an IT guy, is a constant source of motivation.
  • And, of course, Kodi, our dog, fills our home with love and boundless energy.

I hope you'll join me on this delicious journey!
