I started cooking when I was very young, must have been around 9-10 years old. Cooking was always a passion and not somthing forced down upon by mum. Both mum and dad were very supportive of careers of us sisters. So, we were never forced to do the household work or even help mum in the kitchen. I started purely out of curiosity and interest. Whipping up something tasty seemed like a lot of fun!
But, these days, I observe that a lot of people around me, and surprisingly a lot of girls are hardly proficient in cooking! Their parents, like mine, never forced them in the kitchen and they, unlike me, never felt like going in there. It is only now, that they are getting the hang of being around in the kitchen!
I noticed a very interesting phenomena the other day. Even if u dont know cooking and have never stepped in the kitchen before – u can manage to do wonders if u are confident of what u r doing! I have seen women, who r scared of cooking, so much so that, if they are asked to make something, they will carefully measure the ingredients 3-4 times and yet the final outcome would be far from satisfactory!
Do you know why!? Because, cooking is not a method. It is an art!
If two women r given the recipe and ingredients of the same dish, they will probably end up making two dishes, which taste differently! This goes out to prove that only ingredients and methods dont make up a well-cooked dish – it is the prerogative of the person who is cooking it.
A piece of the person’s attitude gets reflected in their cooking! Hence, if u ask two people to cook something for the first time, the one who is more confident will end up doing a better job! 🙂
Adios till then! 🙂
wonder how there is an overlap with my latest post!
Oh is there!? Let me check…
yap! There is… an uncanny similarity… i.e in the ways u and i think 🙂
Have posted a comment on ur blog…
So Am I invited for lunch sometime? 🙂
Lol! Sure Jayanth 🙂
So whats cooking?
I know you’d come to Brew HaHa but i’m not able to place you… Sorry..
i didn’t like your new blog theme.
older one was quite nice and usable. this has so much of scattered stuff.
yes. I’m worried. I need to practice occlumency.
Thats probably quite true. I love cooking!
I think you have a point there Miss. Also, I remember that my Father always says that more than anything else, it’s the love with which you cook which matters the most. For example, we all love maa ke haath ka khana…that’s because there is so much love in that.
Do you agree?
@Jayanth: Hey its ok… even i had difficult until in one of the pics i saw u and ur name. If that helps, i was sitting next to Mike and Britta 🙂
@Kumar: Ok sir. Point taken. Will fiddle with new themes today 🙂
@kpowerinfinity: Oh yeah and ill teach it to u… like Snape taught Harry.. How about that? 😉
@Serendipity: 🙂
@Lallopallo: Its been long since i heard from u… Nice to see u here again 🙂
And yeah, that is soooo true! If the person cooking is in a bad mood, it reflects in the cooking! And jahan tak Maa ke haath ke bane khane ki baat hai, we all would agree that it is the most delicious cooking in the world, possible because mother’s love is so pure and so unconditional… the best of the type in the world! 🙂
That was a very good insight. Thank you! 🙂
Well, it’s not that long..:) I think I posted on panner ki bhurji couple of days back.. You probably missed that
Glad you agree on this..
@Lallopallo: Oh yes I remember that comment. But even that came after a long time. I was beginning to wonder if u r out on some vacation or something 🙂
Oh you’ve that serious looking one?
Jay
