Priya Sharma

Priya Sharma grew up between Delhi and Toronto, which means she has strong opinions about both South Asian cooking and the brunch format, and she has spent most of her career writing about both. She covers the restaurants that reflect a city's actual diversity rather than its dining-guide version of it — South Asian kitchens, vegetarian and plant-forward rooms, the brunch spots that justify the line, and the group dining destinations that hold together when the table is twelve people deep. She has been covering Toronto's restaurant scene for nine years and contributes regularly to TastyPals' coverage of Boston, New York, and Austin. Before joining TastyPals, she was a dining columnist for a Toronto alt-weekly and contributed food writing to national Canadian and American publications. She is a qualified baker and holds a certificate in wine and spirits from the WSET. Her guides to South Asian cooking in Toronto and brunch across North America are among the site's most-read editorial content.
