Food content creators have the ability to change our lives without realising it. Sometimes, a quick and easy recipe they share becomes our meal for days during hectic schedules. Other times, they recreate popular recipes with healthier ingredients, allowing us to enjoy the dishes we love without worry. The role of recipe creators, as significant as it is, is also extremely overlooked.
Our intention is to change that. Chefadora is celebrating recipe creators from all over the world! Starting with the city of dreams, Mumbai. We found five rising food content creators in Mumbai who, apart from having exceptional culinary proficiency, are also fantastic storytellers. Discover a little more about the people behind the recipes we so love. This is Chefadora Spotlight 2025: Rising Food Content Creators of Mumbai.
Born in Dubai, raised in Kerala, and now settled in Mumbai, Jesna Stephen is a third-culture child who brings the best of all these three worlds to her cooking. Her signature dish is Kerala Fish curry, a non-spicy curry made with tender, flaky fish. She ensures that the recipes from both her and her husband’s family are kept alive by recreating them often with the guidance of her two mothers. We had the pleasure of chatting with her, where she revealed her incredible journey and insights as a mother and a content creator.

Juilee loves to bake and has recently started getting into eggless baking, offering perfect sweet delights to everyone.
Juilee Desai’s food is as calming and soothing as her beautiful voice. In a world full of food that is either processed or a little too “healthy” (also expensive with ingredients you have never heard of), Juilee’s food finds that perfect spot of being simple and delicious. Her homecooked meals are often made with fresh and easily available ingredients. If you love a cooking ASMR video, you need to check out her handle @ jgotfood. Every video of hers is not only beautiful to look at but extremely satisfying to listen to as well.
