Meet Us

The idea behind Waverley Kitchens, a division of Waverley Creations Inc., started in a flight on our way home after visiting our son, Varun, at the University of Illinois. How can we make Indian food easy enough that our kids will cook it and still retain the taste and nutritional value of a balanced meal? From that question arose the foundation behind our products and website.

Rashmi Bhargava: Spice Guru

I grew up as part of a large family in Lucknow, India and this gave me the opportunity to learn the basics of cooking from my grandmother and mother, who were both excellent cooks. As a young adult, except for exam time, I would take turns with my sisters to cook for the family. In the midst of fun criticism by my brothers, I developed my own style of cooking. After moving to the US I learned further more from my mother-in-law. When I first came to the US there were very few Indian restaurants and for any special food it was best to make it yourself. My family has always loved the food I prepared for them - Raj calls it "heavenly food!" I hope you can enjoy just as much from the spice blends and recipes I have made for WK Pacs.

Raj Bhargava: Innovation Guru

I am a big fan of incredibly tasty food made by Rashmi. I enjoy cooking too but always need Rashmi's guidance to make the food tasty! For years I have tried to figure out how to make cooking easy for me. Then as our kids moved away from home, they had the same challenge, and the credit card bills started to get longer with restaurant names! With WK Pacs, for the first time I felt confident that I could cook well. It was also exciting to watch the kids inviting their friends and cooking together with WK Pacs. I also enjoy technology. Now I want to share this joy of good cooking and cool website with everyone.

Varun Bhargava: Operations and Design

I am the definition of a food lover. The power of food to bring people together has always amazed me. Ever since childhood I have enjoyed experimenting with food to create new and exciting dishes. Although I am a Mechanical Engineer by training you can find me frequently cooking for my family. I am excited to be able to share my enthusiasm for cooking with everyone so that they too can enjoy the experience as much as I do. Along with my interest in food, I enjoy taking photographs.
