About me

Hi, I am Savitha, and welcome to my blog. I am a HR professional and mother of a very naughty 15 months old boy. I took a break from work to spend time with my son and thatz going to change soon. :(

My passion for cooking started during my 10^th grade summer holidays. I got to watch a lot of TV and was so fascinated that there was a whole TV channel just for food – BBC food. I saw the professional way of cutting vegetables. I was captivated by how the chefs made the food look so beautiful. I was also fascinated by how they enjoyed cooking, until then I never gave importance to it. I started experimenting with food right away but began cooking only after my wedding.

My hubby is a foodie plus he enjoys cooking and best part is, he is pretty much open to try different things. We used to eat out a lot and so decided to make it interesting by exploring different cuisines/ restaurants in the neighborhood. After coming to the US, I started baking a lot. I used to bake muffins and cupcakes regularly and sometimes take them to my office.  We used to have muffins for breakfast since it was easy to take it with you when you are rushing out in the morning..

And now the reason I started this blog: My son is bit of a picky eater; I have to be very creative and make sure he has his daily intake of protein, carbs and fats. His favorite food now is mixed veggie rice with moog dhal or toor dhal (legumes). Since he does not eat bite size pieces of veggie, fruit, chicken or egg, I have to think of different ways to include them in his daily meal. Then it occurred to me, why not save all these recipes for future use. And since I have been wanting to start a blog to share all my cooking and baking adventures for a long time, I figured now is a good time.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoyed writing them. ;))
