The Flavor Blender

The face behind Flavor Blender is Dini, a Sri Lankan who currently lives in Canada. She has travelled quite a bit, from Sri Lanka to New Zealand to the US to Canada, and her recipes perfectly portray the inspiration she gathered through those travels. Most of her recipes are developed by her – through research, experimentation and experience, and she presents them with a piece of background information.
In her collection of recipes, you'll spot a whole bunch of breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner staples, many baked goodies, appetisers, tapas, healthy dishes, finger foods of all sorts, different sweets, savouries, drinks and even cocktails. These are further categorised under different labels so a reader would not miss any of the recipes. She also compiled them into a book and published it in 2017.
She has been dedicatedly posting these recipes since 2014, while pursuing her studies as a PhD student. You can contact her via theflavorbender@gmail.com for collaborations.

Island Smile, is Jehan's tribute to Sri Lanka, and its people who serve up delicious food with a smile. Her journey to this blog began after she found a Sri Lankan cookbook at a random book shop.
Descending from a line of great cooks – her mother, grandmother and also her mother-in-law, Jehan is keen on trying out any recipe that catches her eye. This wonderful habit has opened her tastebuds to a whole range of cuisines – Sri Lankan, Asian, Mexican and Spanish etc.
Her recipes are simple and written to the point, and therefore, quite easy to follow. You can contact her via her Facebook channel.
