Why I blog?
I am Namita Menghani and I do the cooking, baking, writing and styling. I am a fifty year old Indian (absolutely in love with my country), presently living in Dubai, UAE. I love talking, reading, thinking, dreaming about food and come from a family of foodies. I blog with the whole intention that good things are meant to be celebrated and shared.
No one who cooks, cooks alone. Even at her most solitary, a cook in the kitchen is surrounded by generations of cooks past, the advice and menus of cooks present, the wisdom of cookbook writers.Laurie Colwin
I have always been a fan of unprocessed food, because that’s what I have grown up on, favouring beautiful natural produce to canned, pre-packaged stuff. Its more labor intensive but I just feel that the effort is worth it. But, to be fair, I understand that there are cases of time crunch and you have no choice but to use some processed stuff. So while most of the recipes you find on my blog are made from scratch and with fresh ingredients, there are few in the list that use processed food.
Your thoughts, suggestions, feedback and everything you have to say is very important for me. So, please leave a note/email/facebook message and let me know.
