My life's taken a new turn... I was just a foodie, nothing special, jus another girl who loves to eat.. So, you can imagine my surprise when one day suddenly I realized that I not only had an above-average love for all things food but a love for cooking it as well.
I suppose it shouldn't come as a huge surprise to me, after all, my father loved to cook and his Sunday afternoon chicken was the highlight of our week. He would come up with the most amazing stuff.. He would spend all Saturday looking through recipes to find one that was jus right and then he wouldn’t follow it.. He would always adjust it and put a little bit of himself into his cooking.. I think the greatest gifts my dad ever gave me were his epic collection of recipes, his talent for cooking and his absolute inability to follow a recipe :)
So, here I am, declaring my life's purpose. FOOD!! But I do favour baking a little more than cooking. I take comfort in the fact that it’s so scientific... I have a bachelors degree in Chemistry and I guess that should explain my previous statement.. Baking reminds me of those countless days spent in a hot laboratory, with semi-dangerous equipment, mixing ordinary ingredients together that react and result in the most amazing things that look nothing like the original ingredients... Of course, just like chemistry, baking also sometimes has disastrous results.
I am blogging with the sole purpose of chronicling my successes and my disasters.. And in the process if I happen to help a few people realize their own love for cooking then I guess.. Mission Accomplished!!! I’ll be joining a local college for a professional baking course in 2 months and then I can start giving serious professional advice. But for the time being I’m a novice who loves this twist that the universe has presented her with
Now, it’s time for lesson no. 1. "Follow Your Passion!!!" Against all odds if you have to. If I hadn’t, I would be stuck behind a desk working 9-5, barely having time for me, my family and other things that really matter in life. There’s no better pleasure than doing something you love.
On a final note, I hope I can do justice to all the recipes I post on this blog and to all those individuals who try their hand at something new because of my recommendation. So here goes….
