Nalin Jayaweera
For Nalin, food has always been more than what's on the plate. It's how he connects with people.
While living overseas, far from home and family, cooking became a way to stay connected to the memories, traditions, and flavours he grew up with. What started as a personal connection to home eventually became the foundation for Waadiya.
