Cooking and experimenting in the kitchen is like yoga for me. It is therapeutic, it is a stress buster. Cooking is my passion and I love to try out contemporary dishes and add a touch of creativity to give them a modern twist! I love fusion cooking. Indian cuisine is so wonderfully diverse and exciting. It can be fused with any other world cuisine. Due to my constant struggle with "weighty issues", I've always had to watch what I eat. There were times when I survived on soups and salads and it was then when I realized that healthy food need not be bland and boring and that not all foods need to be fatty to be tasty! I love to cook for others and obviously enjoy the compliments I get. There is nothing better than to hear, "Your a great cook." I am a graduate in Hospitality and Hotel Administration and have a degree of Bachelor's in Science from Institute of Hotel Management. The one thing I think I really understand well is cooking. I love to work with various ingredients, methods and styles. I wish to share and learn through this forum. I hope I have a great time here! So here is to sweet beginnings. Cheers!
