Hey before talking about my passion I want to share how I ventured into these uncharted territory previously known to me as a girl thing. Never seen my dad do it nor did my mom let me do it. It all started with me leaving Kolkata in the summer on 2011 to settle in Pune working for an IT company. It was almost November of 2011 when I started out as a prolific dish washer in my flat. Though I must say I was good at it. Rajarshi and Shatadru were the head chef's at our place, the former was awesome with bong Veg dishes and the latter one can make you drool for his Chicken Curry.
It was two months into my dish washing role when on a Bloody Monday I was in afternoon shift and was all alone in my flat when I realized, shit I have to cook lunch. First thing that came to my mind is I will have my lunch at some restaurant but then I heard a voice in my subconscious, it was a sweet feminine voice and was somehow very familiar. I kept listening carefully when its struck me it was the voice of the culinary goddess Nigella_Lawson. She was constantly nagging me to cook and told me she would stop only if I turned the stove on to cook. So I did for the first time cooked RICE and MOONG daal by calling up Rajarshi 4 - 5 times but I must say he was very patiently listening to my queries and lending a helping hand.
I will be honest with you all I was not a disaster, it was very edible but I missed the salt in the daal.
From then on I have never looked back prepared almost 50 different dishes with the Bachelor's twist to some of them or just following my Mom's recipes. To be honest with you I screwed up few dishes but who does not, as I have learned from playing football all these years you never get dishearten because cooking is all the love you can spread.
In this blog I will try to help all the Bachelors who are out there away from their families or with them to take
up cooking and not with my boring recipes but with the vivacious capture of a passion that is in every boy's heart all it needs is a spark to ignite.

Hey Dude..
ReplyDeleteThats a lovely thing you discovered within yourself. And that should be an example to bachelors like me who are too bored to cook food if they are all alone in such afternoon ( :D )
Keep the spirits up. Hoping some recepies from you to share :)
