Meet our 2019 Cookbook Team

Hello! My name is India Howard and I am your Student Cookbook Coordinator for 2019! I am very excited to be working on this project and hope to bring the ultimate cookbook with the most delicious, easy and enjoyable recipes. My vision for this year's cookbook is to have an 'organized international' theme, whereby the book will be split into your five main meal categories; breakfast, lunch, differ, dessert and beverages. However, the focus will be based on finding recipes that match these categories from all over the world, whereby both international and local students will get the chance to find a love for a new cuisine but will also manage to find what they already know and love!

I was previously the Festival of Sport (now Day of Play) Coordinator in 2018 and have come back to Arc in this new role and as a Sports Officer for Arc Sport. I am currently in my fourth year in the Bachelor of Psychological Science majoring in Psychology. May interests are sailing, skiing, cooking, baking, travelling and the French language and culture.

Hello! My name is Vintii Aggarwal and I am one of your editors for 2019. I am a self-professed health enthusiast and am really keen to share my tips and tricks for eating healthy and delicious meals on a student schedule (always crunched for time). I have trained extensively in preparing plant-based meals and managing oneself on a plant based lifestyle.

I am also an Abstract Fine Artist and am studying a Masters of Commerce and Marketing Analytics at UNSW. I really enjoy training at the gym and it’s a ritual I take very seriously.

10 years ago, I decided to embark on a zero white flour, dairy free, zero-refined sugar and gluten-free diet and never looked back. I aim to show all of the time-constricted and extremely ambitious UNSW students how to care for their bodies (and soul) with simple, easy and healthy recipes.

Did I mention I am an avid fan of the TV series, “Masterchef Australia”, which is where I first fell in love with Australia

Hi there! I’m Justine and one of 2019's editors for the Student Cookbook! I’m a Commerce/Arts student that is constantly thinking about food. I self-identify as the Matt Preston of cooking; not actually a chef, but an adequate home cook with high standards and impeccable style (minus the comb-over). I am a big fan of fusion cooking that can combine the best flavours of different cultures into mouth-watering dish.

Besides eating, my other hobbies include reading, writing puns and scouring Sydney and beyond for the best brunch spots. This year, I’m hoping to share my love of food with the rest of the UNSW community. The best meals are always enjoyed in the company of others

Hello, I'm Tiffany and I'm one of the editors of the Student Cookbook for 2019. I'm an Art and Design student with an unhealthy obsession for food and everything related to it. When I'm not busy screaming at all of my assignments, I'm in the kitchen baking some sort of sweet or the other, or perusing through the numerous cooking videos I've got on waitlist. I enjoy other hobbies, like reading and writing, and catching up on memes, all the while staring into my cup of tea lovingly. I hope that I'm able to share just how special food is to my heart, the storiesthat each dish holds and that my contributions bring people a step closer to enjoying, loving food. After all, a love for food is the sincerest form of love there is!

Hey, I’m Carmen and I’m doing marketing and sponsorship for the 2019 Student Cookbook. I’m currently studying PR and Advertising at UNSW. When I’m not having an existential crisis over assessment tasks, you can find me enjoying the best roads NSW has to offer in the cutest car ever built, eating way too much food (or traveling to eat way too much food), obsessing over fountain pens or chugging vast amounts tea in every form.

I love food, I’m especially in love with all the unique ingredients Australia has to offer the culinary world. I believe the taste of food is the most noticeable, but texture is what gets me most excited. I also trained as a chef and was for a brief period working some of my favourite dining spots in Sydney. The stomach is the way into person’s heart right?

I’m Emma, a fourth year Commerce/Economics student who is part of the Sponsorship and Marketing team for the Student Cookbook this year! An avid brunch lover, especially fascinated with Asian-fusion cafes, and hoping to spend more time this year learning to cook more than just Japanese chicken curry!
