About the Site

Hi,

I am Dhaarini Vinodh, an editor and a mother of a 1-year-old. Cooking is my passion, I should say right from childhood, as I remember always sneaking in to the kitchen when mom and granny were cooking and used to observe what they were doing. I would also enjoy the cookery shows along with them. In fact, I and my cousins would try out some new dishes without using the stove and give names to it when we were children! It used to be fun! As I grew up, I simply kept watching cookery shows when possible, but never tried anything much at home. I just tried making some rice varieties and side dishes at home. During my college days, me and my friends used to decide up on a meal recipe and would schedule a day at each of our homes and cook together. Wow! What fun it was! We would begin without knowing where to start with, but will end up making fa(u)ntastic dishes! Yumm they were. Whatever it is, I never used to try our own South Indian conventional cooking. After my marriage, I tried my hand in different types of cooking and learnt many conventional and unconventional dishes. Then I started to follow some food blogs also, which inspired me to start this one.

I should thank all elders at home for inspiring me in cooking and introducing me to new dishes. Credit must also go to my hubby for he was the one who introduced me to a lot of cuisines by taking me to some new restaurant every time.

This blog will feature only vegetarian dishes (as I am a vegan). Most of the recipes I should say are fusion, because those will be altered according my taste and availability of ingredients. Hence the name of this blog. Credits will surely be given to those from whom I got the recipe. More than the cooking and eating what we cook, the appreciation that we get from others is what really keeps us going. Don't you agree? Come on, let's relish!:)
