The most important ingredient of cooking is ‘Love’ – if you pour your heart while cooking, nothing can go wrong.

Welcome to my website. I am a simple house wife. When my daughter grew up and went to college she would tell me quite often how much she misses home food. She survived on pizza, pasta, burgers and Chinese food for the first year. And then she set up her own small kitchen. But apart from scrambled or fried eggs and basic rice all she cooked was instant noodles. She started calling me up for help and guidance. From shopping guide to cooking instructions we chatted long and soon she learnt enough to cook a few basics. Gradually it became a passion and she even started treating her friends.

As a mother I can understand the anxiety and agony we all pass through for our children. And as a woman I realize the importance of basic understanding and skill for cooking.  While traveling across the country I have had the pleasure to taste a multitude of preparations – some authentic, some fusion and some modified as per present day health demands. Interviewing traditional cooks, seeing them in live action and trying them myself has helped me understand the dynamics of the process and the chemistry of the spices. Each dish has its own unique identity.
