I love food!

Change is the only constant thing in life they say. However, it's been 3 years in UK and I find nothing changing, well except the soaring prices of everything. I long to return to India and re-experience life amidst my people, my culture, my land. All things apart, I am 100% Indian at heart. I just love my country too much. A tiny example, food. 

Food is the Bible of my life. Well not really. But nearly so. There is something so wonderfully satisfying about food and what makes it even better, is one's ability to enjoy it. I have been experimenting with lots of new varieties of late and I find that I just get better. My next post will be some sample recipes. Although I have promised myself that I will not succumb to photographing my food, it just looks so pretty on my prettier crockery waiting to be eaten with zest. It would seem almost criminal to not have a photographic memory of a sense of personal culinary achievement!

I try to possess healthy eating habits, a gene passed down from my Mother. Something that I will always be grateful to her for. I am a vegetarian and don't entertain turning 'Ovo' as well. All the food that I cook, I enjoy preparing lovingly be it for myself or my friends. I eat it with more passion and do not waste a morsel. Some friends say that I inspire them to initiate cooking.

I don't cook any other cuisine apart from Indian and a rare pasta in a blue moon. Indian food, high in nutrition and taste and low in all the bad stuff that docs warn you against, is the reason why we have the lowest rate of colon cancer in the world. I ensure that I hold on to my South Indian heritage by eating idli and dosai at least twice a week. Abroad, that IS something!

Since I am at work at the moment, let me stop this post right here, lest I shift my focus towards food and forget the lab! It's already lunch time, so might as well take a break! Look out for some pretty food pictures in the upcoming posts. 

Chow, I mean Ciao!
