Eating good food is great, but making good food is even great. When I cook, I feel like an artist, painter, sculptor, engineer, programmer, writer, singer and more - I am not crazy. Luckily, most of my trials at kitchen turn out to be good - I have had bad burnt ones too :(. When the recipes turn out to be good, people often ask me to write those recipes for them or send them via e-mail. I am not good at writing (especially writing recipes :P) so I have barely written any recipes (except the KFC one for which I got mixed responses - some say it cannot be called as a recipe because of lack of exact measurements). I am not like the famous Captain at KFC who deliberately want to hide the recipe. I love open source and hate proprietary softwares. I strongly believe that ingredients and measurements are "eater-specific." I also do not measure things while I cook. To make sure everything is good to my taste or the people who eat them (I ask them how hot, salty they want it - texture, MSG, more soy and more) and do a "Nakkify test." I hope people know what test I mean. A few drops on your hand and lick it - you will never go wrong and if it needs a fix, make changes and repeat the test again.
I would like to quote something here to support my point,
Good painting is like good cooking; it can be tasted, but not explained. - Maurice de Vlaminck
The good news is that I am planning to put in recipes in this blog on demand. I also have a couple of guest bloggers who are willing to share their recipes here. The most notable and notorious one is going to be my friend Aarthi's blog called Yummy Tummy. She tries new recipes over weekends. She says she is inspired towards cooking by so many cooks like Nigella Lawson, Anjum Anand, Aarti Sequeira, Rachel Allen and many more. Honestly, I have no clue who these people are - will Google and do some research on these guys.
