I am complete foodie. But I think it's more enjoyable cooking for other people.
Cooking is therapeutic for me. I simple love messing about in the kitchen. It is difficult to point out exactly what I find rejuvenating. Perhaps it is the smell of all the condiments in the hot ghee, the colour as the masala separates out from the oil and the thick aroma of everything good that has gone into the dish. I am not particularly fussy about what I cook. Baking, grilling, frying to making spicy Indian curries... I love it all. The funny thing is, I can tell you perhaps the ingredients that go into the dish but I'll never be able to tell their amounts. I never remember them myself. I never really bother about these things. To me, the colour and the aroma is testimony enough to the flavour of the food. Yeah...that' me....that's my primitive self. But what the heck right? I mean if the ultimate result is palatable, who cares about little details?
Cooking is an art. It heals.
