What does a good Kitchen Have and does'nt have must haves.

Starters..

Just because I am taking an interest in cooking which is strange, every one has to know. When some really yum stuff gets made after all the uncertainties and I have this feeling ..I wish I could share this. Thats why this blog.
But guess it is so so our own recipe that only the cooks know it. I am actually falling into the category..of COOKS!! I always cooked safe.. easy stuff where you can't go very wrong.
Leave the kids I am fed up..khatti daal..phali..OMG. I want something NEW!!

One of the things that Raj set out to do during the sabbatical was learn to cook exotic stuff. When he actually did that he made some amazing Chinese food, I have never tasted but heard enough from the kids.
The same time saw a very fed up Tanvi craving for Asha aunty's Rasam..and Asha as usual forgetting not only the Rasam..even to give the recipe..thats it..I went on the net. For the first time I did something apart from Scramble i,e., google recipes.

This was almost getting abandoned..when Pinka kept reminding..well this is her dream.

Another reason is as I am writing is right now all the sisters are together in Milwaukee and they can look up together and add to this the sheer lovely thing. What better way than food to stay connected!!!

I love the stories around cooking than cooking itself. Don't expect exact measurements..I don't cook like that I can't write it too. As a Enthu writer I may miss some important points..just ask questions..I'll only be flattered.

Enjoy..
