WHO FEEDS US?

Before Bengaluru became a food city, women were already feeding it. Across the city are women who carry recipes, techniques and food traditions that rarely make it onto a menu. Some recipes were never written down. Some have travelled across generations. Some survived simply because one woman kept making them. We want to find them.

THE CONCEPT

1. 1ONE WOMAN. ONE DISH. ONE STORY.Each episode enters the world of one woman who feeds Bengaluru.
2. 2THE KEEPERPreserving a forgotten family recipe.
3. 3THE MIGRANTBringing her food culture to Bengaluru.
4. 4THE FEEDERCooking for an entire community.
5. 5THE RESTAURATEURKeeping a disappearing cuisine alive.
6. 6THE TEACHERPassing knowledge to the next generation.

THE QUESTIONS WE ASK

We don't just ask: "What are you cooking?" We ask: Who taught you? Who do you cook for? Where did it come from? Why does it matter? And who will make it after you?

THE FORMAT

1. 1A 1-MINUTE INSTAGRAM REEL PER EPISODE (TOTAL 6 EPISODES)Each episode is a 1-minute reel. No host-led food show. No recipe tutorial. No restaurant review. Just a woman, her kitchen and the story behind what she feeds people.

Servd gives the series its Bengaluru food community. We bring the concept, direction, storytelling and visual language.
