About Me
Hey You’ll!
Welcome to my hobby space where i’ll let you in on all that’s cooking in my free time.
I am an IT supermom living in the Golden City of San Francisco with my husband and my little rascals Aashu and Agas. I moved to the US after my marriage and that’s when my love affair with cooking began. And now, working in my dream job in a reputed software firm by day, I come home to a very energetic and demanding son! Aashu being such a picky eater ( oh the terrible twos!), I am pushed to conjure new exciting dishes everyday! With time not being a luxury, I experiment with simple recipes, traditional and new, and the result is that Aashu finally has a happy tummy. Come weekends, I do love stirring up some delicacies for my husband and I. It could be childhood cravings, those traditional recipes by mom, mom-in-law and grand moms whose taste still lingers in our minds or some absolutely new Indian and world cuisine that I read on the internet and that gets me excited. 5.5 years on, I am pretty confident that I have created quite a few dishes that have turned out really well and are worth sharing with you all.
So with some help from my wonderful husband Vasu and my ever-dependable cousin Siri, I got my act together on this blog!
Besides cooking I also enjoy painting and am blessed to have inherited a small share of the talent from my mom and grand mom. I will be sharing those creations with you occasionally as well!
Stop by for some easy to make yet exciting vegetarian dishes for kids and adults alike, and a dash of colours too! Feel free to let me know what you think! Constructive criticism is welcome but rude and unethical remarks are not. Such comments will be removed immediately.
