This devoted dad has gone from rarely cooking to expertly crafting fresh, delicious, and healthy meals every day, completely transforming his family's eating habits.

In today's fast-paced world, where balancing work, family, and personal commitments is a constant juggle, one of the most daunting challenges is providing your family with fresh and healthy meals. The struggle to find the time and motivation to cook after a long day can be draining, leaving many individuals feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. However, individuals like Vijay, who have encountered challenges in the kitchen, can find solace in the discovery of an effective solution that simplifies and streamlines the cooking process.

Introducing Vijay Vusirikala, a father and husband who occupies a prominent role as the Sr. Director and Head of Global Network Foundations at Google. Through firsthand experience juggling work, family, and household responsibilities, Vijay has emerged as a shining example of successfully navigating these intricate challenges. Like many others, Vijay faced time constraints and had explored various methods to achieve a balanced approach in his family's daily meal planning.

Let’s take a closer look at him and his family’s eating journey, examining the differences before and after Nymble became a part of their household.

Unraveling the Cooking Chaos: Vijay's Journey Pre-Nymble

Vijay and his family had long endured a chaotic everyday cooking routine, marked by rushed breakfasts, hastily assembled lunches, and a heavy dependence on continuous dinner take outs that had become a regular occurrence. He acknowledges that amidst the pandemic, a period marked by a renewed interest in home-cooked meals, he and his family found themselves increasingly dependent on food deliveries due to their demanding work-from-home routines. 

"In a rather ironic or paradoxical twist, the pandemic brought about a surge in our busyness, leaving us with minimal time to cook at home. As a result, we were left with no alternative but to depend on take-outs or food deliveries."

Following the return to normalcy, their schedules grew even busier. Their pandemic-era food habits stuck around. This was primarily because they had not yet discovered a suitable home-cooking or meal planning solution that was both convenient and healthy enough to align with their busy schedules.

The Kitchen Takeover: How Nymble Transformed Vijay's Cooking

According to Vijay, once they embraced Nymble, his family witnessed a gradual transformation in their food sourcing and cooking habits, transitioning towards a sustainable and nourishing home-cooked approach.

"It's a no-brainer when it comes to thinking about recipes. As long as you have the required ingredients, simply press cook and let it work its magic. Nymble's 'set and forget' cooking approach is truly revolutionary. You no longer have to meticulously obsess over each recipe step."


Vijay also highlights that having Nymble in the kitchen adds flexibility to their daily meals. With a well-stocked pantry, they can select from a wide range of recipes stored in the device. On the other hand, when ingredients are limited, they can filter recipes based on what they have and easily decide what to cook for the day. This eliminates the guesswork and mental strain during the pre-cooking stage, as their cooking robot offers multiple options to narrow down the recipe choices for the day.

Quality Food and Ease of Use

Vijay was pleasantly surprised by Nymble's expanding recipe collection, surpassing his initial expectation of limited choices. Additionally, the customizable features have proven to be the most useful for him.  

"The dishes have truly exceeded our expectations. We're impressed by the variety of recipes available and the ability to adjust flavors before cooking.”


The app's prep-along feature has simplified ingredient preparation for him. Clear instructions and video guidance enable him to effortlessly gather and organize the necessary ingredients, streamlining his cooking process.

Vijay adds that while Nymble doesn't entirely replace food delivery convenience, it significantly reduces the daily cooking burden. It empowers busy families to maintain a healthier homemade diet with less effort.

"At first, the novelty of Nymble's cooking method intrigued me. However, as I integrated it into my routine, I realized its true value. Nymble effortlessly brings home cooking within reach, empowering everyone to make positive food choices."
