She is equally up to travelling the world to discover olive cultivation across the Mediterranean and banquets composed entirely of fish from the Finnish archipelago. She is the author of more than a few books on food and Kashmir. Marryam is a Consulting Editor with the Times of India and writes a weekly column in Delhi Times in addition to putting together the annual Times Food Guide for Delhi and the NCR.
