My First Post!

This seems to be as exciting as my first dish that I cooked without any help. Although, I can’t claim that I have started this blog without help, not help exactly but persuasion…yes.

It’s not that I am a great cook, or a nutritionist, nor a restaurateur neither a food column editor….in fact I am not even a writer. Then you must be wondering why and who persuaded me to write a blog  and why a food blog. Well, that has to be my ever encouraging, ever supporting husband. He often says he is lucky that he married somebody who has the same passion as his- food!(He has other passions too but this is my blog so let’s talk about me) I once mentioned something about someone should write good food guides for cities, at least the big cities etc. and he said why don’t you write. I was very skeptical as I thought I don’t eat out like every other day, to have enough content to write and plus I am not a food specialist to be able to correctly comment on the cooking, flavours etc. to which he replied, you will learn. Then I said, I don’t want to write just a food guide, I want to rave and rant about my cooking too, even if I am not a great cooker..er cook. And to this he says people would love to know how you have learnt on your own and the fact that you love food will make your posts an interesting read. True that passion for food is there in my blood. My father loves food (or feeding), my mother is an amazing cook and has great efficiency, which can be attributed to the fact that she was a full time working woman, with 3 kids (& now 3 grand kids) who never had a consensus on a single dish (hence came on table lots of variety), and has a foodie husband. I really doubt I have ever seen anybody match up her energy levels in the kitchen. Anyways, so after a lot of shying and whining (the usual...no, I can’t...am not the type etc etc) I decided to take the plunge!! And this is just for the love of food!!

I intend to write posts on dishes that I experiment cook, on eat outs, on nutrition or health and food, cooking accessories…basically you would find posts regarding anything to do with food. I hope you find my blog entertaining or inspiring, or just an amusing diversion from your daily routine. What I would wish is that you do drop in a comment from time to time and let me know how you liked it (or didn’t). Thank you for stopping by!
