MY INTEREST IN COOKING AND (HENCE) THIS BLOG

THOUGH I HAVE LEARNED TO MAKE MOST OF THE DISHES FROM MY MOTHER, I HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY (NOR THE WILL POWER AND INTEREST) TO TRY AND COOK THEM MYSELF. NOW THAT I FIND COOKING INTERESTING APART FROM BEING A STRESS BUSTER, I WOULD LOVE TO DOCUMENT MY ATTEMPT AT COOKING MY MOM'S DISHES ALONG WITH THOSE I HAVE LEARNED FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

MY MOM IS NOW 59 YRS OLD, AND HAS BEEN COOKING SINCE THE AGE OF 20; MOSTLY FOR HER FAMILY, AND ALSO FOR ALL THE PARTIES HOSTED AT HOME UNTIL 2005. EVEN TODAY, SHE MANAGES TO HAVE A SCRUMPTIOUS MEAL COMPRISING 3-4 DISHES, THAT SERVES 4-5 ADULTS, READY IN ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR.

I HOPE TO TRY AND INCLUDE ALL THE DISHES I HAVE HAD FROM CHILDHOOD TO THE PRESENT (SOME OF WHICH SHE DOES NOT COOK NOWADAYS, FOR VARIOUS REASONS) IN THIS BLOG.
