Priyanka Raj is the founder and creative force behind Studio Priyanka, a culinary studio where food becomes a language of memory, ritual, and connection. Raised in a small Indian town, Priyanka’s early life was steeped in the quiet traditions of home cooking—shaped by her mother’s devotion in the kitchen and her father’s exacting palate and growing up on a farm.

With an educational background in Chemistry and Biomedical sciences & Research, her professional journey first took her into management consulting and global public health, including impactful work in public health strategy with President Clinton’s Health Access Initiative, before leading her back to her true calling: food. Her culinary path has taken her through Michelin-starred kitchens in London, the enduring market stalls of Paris, and the soulful inventiveness of Miznon under Chef Eyal Shani.

With Studio Priyanka, she brings together heritage and modernity, devotion and creativity—curating sensory experiences that celebrate humble luxury and the timeless joy of gathering around food
