Welcome to my Cooking Blog

I love experimenting..with food..personal looks...home decoration n all..and fortunately they work most of the time..I used to make only cakes in microwave when I was small...by reading recipes in magazines (net was not available at that time)..rest of cooking was always my mom's domain..but as the pressure of studies grew..I left cooking completely for some 6-8 years.I still remember..my roomie in Belleville,Canada taught me how to make simple Daal :).I had forgotton all...along with the confidence...
But after wedding..now I have my own kitchen...a very demanding husband when it comes to variety of food and keeping taste buds happy..a lovable brother-in-law who loves good food though doesn't demand much (probably shy!! )and being a responsible lady of the house..I am very cautious about nutrient value of food and hygiene along with calorie content (I am quite plumpy already :) ).
So,this blog is just a record of my experiments with the recipes I read on other food blogs or the standard recipes learnt from mom n friends...
As these all are experiments,so definite quantity of ingredients is not specified.Most are approximations as per my taste :).
