In 2008 she took the first step in establishing her own career by starting a food blog, Deelishuss. She took inspiration from established chefs like Nigella Lawson and Gordon Ramsey.

Whenever there was a Taste of Cape Town event or something similar, you would find Kamini there. I was such a nuisance!” confesses Kamini. I hounded editors and wangled my way into food conferences. “It was then when I started stalking chefs at every possible cooking show. She spent her time watching cooking channels and visiting markets, where she would buy the weirdest things just to see what dish she could make with them.
All of a sudden, Kamini bypassed her usual Cosmopolitan magazine in stores, opting for food magazines instead. She tested what happened when she added milk or cream to eggs, then cooked the batter on high heat, and then switched to a lower heat setting. She started small, experimenting with what some would call basic ingredients. The degree didn’t challenge her creative side, so the kitchen became her escape from the long-worded textbooks. She actually studied Commerce at the University of Natal in Durban. Growing up, Kamini had no idea she would cook as part of her career.
