Hey There! I’m Gurleen
Product Manager by Profession | Storyteller & Creator by Passion
Welcome to HNG by Gurleen (formerly Herbs N Garlic). This space started with a simple mission: to share nourishing, globally-inspired recipes. But as I’ve traveled from the rugged cliffs of Northern Ireland to the artisan markets of Italy, it has evolved into something much more.
I am Indian by origin, Toronto-based by choice, and a traveler at heart. I believe that food, style, and art are the ultimate representations of culture.
On this site, you’ll find a curated blend of my worlds:
Nourishing Recipes & Nutrition: Easy-to-replicate dishes and deep dives into wellness to fuel your body.
Travel & Lifestyle: Detailed itineraries and honest hauls (like my hunt for the perfect Italian leather) to help you explore the world with confidence.
Content Creation & Photography: Behind-the-scenes insights into how I capture the world, helping you elevate your own storytelling.
My motive is for you to stop, reflect, and appreciate the flavors and beauty life has to offer. Whether it’s the perfect spice blend, a hidden travel gem, or a photography tip that changes your perspective—HNG is here to inspire you to create a life that is as well-fed as it is well-traveled.
HNG by Gurleen (formerly Herbs N Garlic) has evolved alongside my own journey. While my roots are in nourishing recipes, I’ve expanded to share my global travels, nutritional insights, and the photography secrets behind the lens—bringing the flavors, science, and style of the world back to your home.
