Yasmin Chowdhury

Yasmin Chowdhury is a potential ally and traveling chef found in Appalachia in 2103.

Background
Yasmin is a traveling chef who passionately collects recipes, traveling from place to place. At each stop in her travels, she stays with the locals and swaps stories and recipes. While she has a very outgoing and bubbly personality, she is always perfectly content to keep to herself to crank out innovative new recipes that are almost always edible. After arriving in Appalachia, Yasmin may take interest in a Vault Dweller's C.A.M.P. and ask to stay a while so that she can perfect local recipes.

She was born and raised in Philadelphia, spending her whole life there until she left for culinary school. It had always been her dream to own her own restaurant, but the end of the world made her reconsider. In the end, she felt it would be better to open a cooking school to help preserve the culinary arts for generations to come.

Yasmin originally wanted to become a chef as an act of rebellion against her parents. They were both academics who wanted the same for her. Yasmin was both surprised and grateful when her parents accepted that her interest in cooking was not just a phase. She had always been fascinated by food, getting her start helping grandma make little sweets called sandesh to celebrate Yasmin's sister's birthday. After that, her grandma could not keep Yasmin out of the kitchen.

After the Great War, she joined a group of survivors building a settlement in the ruins of an old resort in the Poconos. For 15 years, they lived in peace before a group of raiders attacked. Those who were not killed were scattered, and the town was destroyed. Yasmin headed toward Appalachia, meeting many travelers on the way. It was the stories of the creations of Delbert Winters that ultimately guided her way. Against the odds, she still holds out hope that she will reunite with her parents and her sister someday.
