Once I have heard someone telling that cooking is nothing but just the right combination of salt and spices.But I really disagree!
If it would have been true then why the same dal serve in you platter daily, tastes different everyday?
Why you always miss your mom and say, "Ma ke haath wali baat nahin hai...!"?
Have you ever noticed when you are in a good mood and enjoying while cooking, you tend to make a tastier food rather than when you are in a bad mood...??
I am my mom's daughter a typical mumma's child..:) as everyone says, so my love for cooking and serving food properly are in my genes, transfered to me by my mom!! I started cooking food because of my mother and my brother.
As my mom cooks very well and my brother is fond of eating varieties. And now my son, whenever he goes to visit them in vacations, he enjoys his Mamu's company coz he makes him enjoy in all the way.... movies, parties, malls and top of them.. good food at various joints.
Once my son comes back to home, he insisits 'Ma, I want to have this and that... which I had there...'. and all this makes me to cook and serve him whatever he wants....
