I just flipped through my blog site and my last post seemed to be some two years back, and this realization dawned that how come I had missed on so much. I have been writing on this favourite place of mine because it has been a platform to express myself through words and it satisfies my intellectual bent to some extent.
There are several activities connected to our daily lives and one is always running through them, always loosing mind, soul and time. So to escape that ordeal, I have chosen a few getaways through which i rejuvenate my soulful hunger for divene joy and inner peace. one of them is cooking food, not for myself but for others, including my family and friends. Hosting a grand meal for the people I love has always given me an opportunity to learn, experience and grow with the food. It does not tire me or make me grumpy at all. Adventuring into classy options can be done more so with flavours of spices, condiments and sauces with a touch of glamour quotient in all of this presentation.
When you indulge in exploring new recipes within the boundaries of your likes and dislikes, it marks limited options but any good cook can always make a good meal out of left over things available in the kitchen. He or she will not necessarily push the panic button but use their skills in getting things right. One can treat a whole lot of people with sheer intelligence, dedication and fervour.
The intelligent quotient to add to your adventure cooking is not to reveal secret ingredients being used in the well presentable platter of food. The best thing is to ask diners to explore the adventures of all that has been offered to them, thereby, initiating them towards more inquisitiveness. This makes it more interesting and it lets people talk about and be a critic about the food served to them. We call it Table Talk. My biggest acheivement if anyone can say with a full heart: Wow… this is a blessing. Cooking needs lot of heart in all of it as it lets out the genius in you. It represents the patience, exuberance, excellence and divine soul of the person. Then the appetite for more just grows bigger and bigger….. more to come
