A Food admirer!, I started taking a keen interest in cooking after my marriage since my husband is a foodie and I wanted to please him with my culinary skills. ( I have explained this in the beginning of my blogging) My mother is an amazing cook and I think her talent has rubbed on me a little so it was not a very rough start though I still believe there is lot more I need to learn! Leoian by birth, I am a very imaginative, compassionate and sensitive being. I love anything and everything that motivates me creatively. At the same time I am also very lazy so was not sure if blogging would work out well for me. But right now I enjoy sharing my creations with my blogger friends and have found a new passion in 'modern twist Indian cooking'!!. it interests me now and I am very keen on improving these skills.
The idea to start a blog was planted in my head when i watched the movie on Julia Child! . I was skeptical since I did not see myself writing posts about the dishes I cooked everyday. I am not a writer...what i think sometimes is not what i write or want to write.I! At present this is my favorite hobby and I look forward to blogging. I love to cook dishes that are simple, less time consuming yet tasty. But some days when i am in that "mood' i take my time and cook something that consumes my energy and time. (i know crazy right?) . I also believe that you eat with your eyes first; no matter how tasty the dish, if it fails to please your eyes there is very little chance that it will reach your tummy. So for me presentation is everything..some of my friends or food fan has already noticed that and complimented me on many occasions. So styling food and making it presentable is also something that I strive to achieve and I am still progressing gradually on my learning curve; drawing inspiration from what I see around and also from other bloggers. The day I manage to take a stylish and professional food photograph would be the day I would consider my blogging skills truly redeemed. My daughter at present still knows and reminds me not to take photographs of anything even food.(lol) i admit i dont take good pictures!
Besides sharing recipes i also like to read or know about fun facts on anything and everything. Here is some my cousin shared with me. (right now taking a breather)
