Home Made Food Products

Our place, Home Made Food Products, is located in Goregaon East on S N Dube Road. We’re in building A/47, room 104. It’s not a factory or anything like that. It’s basically just a large kitchen where we spend our days making stuff. We started out small, just doing a few things for neighbors, and it grew from there. There are always jars and bags sitting around waiting to be filled. The air is usually full of the scent of whatever we’re cooking that day, maybe some pickles or some sweets. We don't have a big staff. It’s just a few of us who know the recipes by heart. We don't use measuring cups for everything; we mostly go by how it looks and feels. It’s how we were taught. Sometimes we stay late to finish an order, and the radio is always playing in the background. It’s a quiet life, but we like it. The building is just a regular residential-style place, so it feels very personal. We don’t have a fancy storefront. People usually just find us by word of mouth or by coming to the door. We don't do much in terms of advertising. We just figure that if the food is okay, people will come back. It’s a simple way to run things, and it keeps us busy. We just keep making our products one batch at a time, right here in Goregaon, and that is enough for us.
