Introductions of a cook

A good cook, is a very cliched word, who is a good cook? A person who can cook well in terms of following a recipe or a person who can rustle up a recipe with whatever is on hand. I would personally choose the latter.

I am passionate about food and cooking. I went to study Hotel Management and it was there our professor Mr. Ranjan Mukherjee showed us the way to be a good cook. This was way back in the late 80's, herbs and other exotic ingredients were not so readily available to us and as a result we had to improvise. This improvision made me turn and twist recipes, sometimes making the recipe taste real good, but there again, did I even know the original taste of the recipes I sometimes churned out? There were times I even cooked from my memory of the taste of a certain dish I had in my childhood.

It is the ability to transform something ordinary to a work of art adding personal touches is what makes a person a good cook. This is just the beginning of my journey as a food blogger. There is so much that I would like to share that I don't quite know where to begin. My friends and family believe that I am a good cook, but am I? I do not know, I hope to find out more about my passion as we travel through my blogs.
