Who are you?
Well, I am an engineer by day and a self-designated cook by night. I live in Bangalore, India with my darlin’ husband M and two pet plants, Loopie and Bent-a-lot.

When/How did you start cooking?
I think the obsession with food (ah! Glorious food!) started pretty young. Memories of mom baking my favorite cookies and granny cooking that wonderful fish in spinach still make my mouth water and senses tingle. It was brought to a crescendo when I started staying away from family: I cannot tell you how many ‘Nigella’s & ‘Bourdain’s I’ve watched during that time. This, along with my love for food, fired my passion for cooking, and now baking.

What is your blog all about?
Its all about food. I love to eat and yes, feed people too, but then I am inherently a little lazy. This, combined with my erratic job hours, pushes me to find easy but healthy ways to make delicious food at home. We all know the harmful effects of eating out every night – been there, done that. Its not always a good idea. So, I hope to cater to those of you who believe in good wholesome delish home-made meals, but also don’t mind indulging once in a while!

I thought you were a professional writer..?
Nope. Not yet, that is. Hopefully, someday. For now, I write and blog when I am not cooking or eating!

Are these pictures clicked by you?/ Is the header your own picture?/ What camera do you have?
Yes! All images in this blog are my own. Please let me know if you want to re-produce them someplace else? (My email is in here). I have a Sony H10, believe it or not. Nothing fancy at all. I now have a Canon 550D and over time I have learnt that there is only 1 trick to good photos – LIGHT LIGHT and more LIGHT. I am continuously trying to improve my photography skills every single day, but yes I know I do have a long way to go. Photography is like my other favorite thing to do.
