| Introduction | My inspiration to start this blog is two-fold. My first source is my mother. I grew up eating her fabulous Indian cooking most days of week and love to recreate her dishes in my kitchen. She is a gifted, intuitive cook who measures nothing so it has taken me a lot of observation and time to get her recipes down to a science. Please keep that in mind when I share one of her culinary gems! My second source of inspiration is my husband. His family is from Bengal and eats dishes that are delectable but were completely unknown to me until we met. We travel back to India to visit his family about once a year and usually also travel somewhere new within the subcontinent. On these trips I have been wowed by the breadth and variety of food in this lone country. Most of my favorite dishes could never be found on your typical North Indian heavy restaurant menu. So if I want to eat them again, of course I have to try and make them myself - a challenge I am excited to undertake! So please join me (hopefully with an empty stomach) on this palate tingling journey. I promise it will be anything but ordinary! |
| Interests | I'm a self-admitted samosa junkie. I have to have one when I travel. You can imagine the incredulous looks when I go looking for great samosas in Paris! I also love to cook. Samosas are way too much work but I do like to make simple (and not so simple) Indian food. |
