Will you be focusing on cooking from the region you grew up?

Or exploring cooking from all of India or South Asia?

Whereof I cannot speak, thereof I must be silent :)

I'm pretty committed to writing about stuff I'm pretty sure I understand well. Some of that is specific to Punjabi/Delhi/Rajasthani food that I ate growing up, but a lot of it is techniques that apply to other South Asian cooking, like working with dals, tempering whole spices, tadka, chutneys, etc. But some is truly universal: how to think about shopping, moisture awareness and the physical chemistry of water, the effect of atmospheric pressure on cooking times and water ratios, and all the tricks I know for building flavor.

Long story short: lots of Delhi Punjabi food examples, some South Indian food, some French cooking techniques, some Italian references.
