One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating. ~Luciano Pavarotti and William Wright, Pavarotti, My Own Story
Pavarotti is so right. Food is something we can never do without!! We all love eating and I hope that you will like my style of cooking.
My blog is aimed at people who have never cooked Indian food and also at the modern young boys and girls starting out in life and wishing to learn to cook. I spend a lot of time trying out my recipes, photographing them at each step and my aim is to explain the cooking process in as much detail as I can.
During the time I got interested in cooking, there weren't a lot of cookery books available for vegetarian Indian cooking. My parents were both good cooks. My dad was a self taught chef and used to cater at Indian weddings. My father in law too was a chef and I learnt a lot of traditional cooking by watching both my dads cook. I was always asking them for recipes and tips. They shared a lot of their cooking "tricks" with me. I am still a traditional cook and love sharing my recipes with my friends.
My blog features quick and easy time saving recipes but also includes the traditional recipes as I feel that some of the old fashioned dishes will never be made if no one passes on the recipes.
I had always wanted to write a cookery book but never got the time. However, my blog is now available on Kindle so I feel that I have achieved a part of my ambition.
When I started this blog, I hadn't even dreamt that so many people would be reading it. I owe the success of my blog to all of you who visit it regularly. I also owe the success of this blog to other bloggers who gave me encouraging comments and introduced me to their circle of friends and family.
Please look through my blog and if you find any recipes interesting, try them out and make them to your taste by adding your favourite herbs and spices. Experiment with different foods and have fun! Do drop me an email (givemesomespice@gmail.com) to let me know how it turned out.
Since June 2011, I am also a featured writer for the an online City Connect magazine. I write recipes under the Taste of India Series. Please take a look at the online magazine for my recipes and other interesting information.
As mentioned above -my blog is also available on Kindle.
