Dr Kavita Bhatnagar

Dr Kavita Bhatnagar has spent over two decades studying flavour through every lens that matters. Trained as a flavourist, food scientist and nutritionist, with a PhD in eating behaviour psychology, she understands flavour from the molecule to the mind, and from the lab to the market. An Oxford Rewley scholar and Harvard Business School alumna, she is CEO of Kanegrade India, a manufacturer of natural flavours and colours, which she is shaping into a taste management company. She is Vice President of the British Society of Flavourists, Editor of New Flavourist , and Penguin bestselling author of The Power of Imperfect Eating . Whichever lens she looks through, she keeps asking the same question: why does something taste right to us?
