No one who cooks, cooks alone. Even at her most solitary, a cook in the kitchen is surrounded by generations of cooks past, the advice and menus of cooks present, the wisdom of cookbook writers
~ Laurie Colwin
Love and care are as vital as measurements.
Passing out all and even encouraging participation
No secret recipe
Still it tastes different.
Learning is fun. Tasting is more fun.
Last weekend I was on a mission to cover a cooking event. The participation was free but limited and people were asked to register in advance due covid restrictions. The event was supported by municipality to promote food and culture.
*****
Nature has provided us all.
Sharing is our culture.
Expecting nothing in return.
Other than a smile.
Stay blessed.

Oh, how beautiful this is!! A truly heartwarming post. That spice box is a compulsory item in every Indian kitchen 🤣 The only thing that’s constant from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
Such lovely nom-nom dishes!!! 🤤

What a delicious post, Rupali! Thank you for showing the process of making these wonderful dishes. Occasionally, I try to make Indian food, like chicken masala… I love Samosa, it’s one of my favorite dishes. 🙂
