Perception depends on your outlook. Cooking maybe a regular chore for majority,
but for me it’s my hobby, passion, stress buster or to an extent something that
I would like to be identified with. An
honest confession, was never an avid student be it studies or sports since
childhood. The only thing that made be
inquisitive was cooking, spent hours with mom in kitchen observing her and questioning
her quenching my anxiety thirst. Teenage
years saw me doing mostly futile experiments, but got the family support.
After completing my higher secondary in
commerce stream, joined hotel management with the limited knowledge that it’s
all about cooking…graduated but worked in F&B in reputed five star
properties (Taj Mansingh and Maurya Sheraton) for five years in New Delhi. I gained a lot of exposure about food
carving, design, presentation, technique etc. but due to hectic schedule could
not manage to give time to my zeal.
Then came the turn in my life where due
to some family circumstances had to shift to Ranchi with my hubby. Also my darling daughter came into our life,
so time really passed by. When my
daughter was two and I started getting some time for myself and with the support
of my husband I started my cooking classes.
By god’s grace got a very favorable and encouraging response. Baking my first love in cooking always topped
the chart but slowly chocolate making, starters, ice cream, main course also
became popular.
To be honest, I was always skeptical
about blogging, even though my husband always reiterated from the very
beginning to enter this zone, to learn, share, connect etc. I used to share my recipes on social
platforms but I was convinced later that should start writing so that I could
better connect and explore. Life is a
learning process and so is cooking, the more you share and experiment the more the
boundaries of knowledge enhances. Wish
for support and good luck in this journey of mine from almightily, family,
friends and well wishers…
