A few days ago I finally saw this movie "Juile & Julia" (I have been waiting for almost a year to watch it). The plot runs around two stories from different generations...one of Julia Child, an American Chef recognized for introducing French Cuisine to the American "servantless" public...and the other around Julie Powell, an American write who was obsessed with Julia Child's cooking. So much so that she started a project "The Julie/Julia Project", a blog chronicling her attempt to cook all the recipes in Ms. Child's book Master the Art of French Cooking.
The movie inspired me, in that, it reminded me of the numerous times I wanted to write a blog about cooking. Every time I thought of it...the hundreds of blogs that already exist on cooking came to mind and I gave up the idea. But when I saw this movie, I said...well...I experiment in my kitchen (my husband's my guinea pig)...and I have a number of recipes and tips I'd like to share and also preserve...so why not. I hope you enjoy my attempt at chronicling recipes from various sources that include my grandmother's cookbook (recipes she collected from TV shows and magazines), my mom's recipes and different websites on the internet.
About me: I am a true-blue South Indian...and I enjoy rice more than rotis :) no no...don't stop reading...there will be recipes of dishes from different cuisines - don't worry! :)
I hope you enjoy my blog...have fun :)
