How it all began :)

Helllooo !!

I finally got around to starting my food blog :) So excited!

The love of food comes naturally to many of us. So I don't think I ever to explain it ;)

I haven't always been a foodie. At least not in the go out a lot / try many cuisines type of girl for a long while. I guess I was just  so content with the great home food that was always available that I never felt the need to go out to meet the need.

It all started when I went away to stay at a hostel in a different city while doing my MBA. There's something about regimented eating that really gets to one. It got to me for sure, and that's when I started exploring the world of cuisines and food types that are available outside the immediately accessible dining room.

Trichy (In Tamil Nadu) ...or more like the outskirts of that little city is an interesting place to get started as a foodie. Home to numerous colleges and universities, it by default also houses some of the cheapest food outlets in the country. It used to be a place where we could get 100gms of fried chicken for Rs. 25 and scoops of ice cream at Rs.3 to 4 ...yes, I'm talking about 5 years back, not 50! (Micheal's ...I heard they recently increased their cost to 8 or 9 rupees per scoop) Some of the best road side soup stalls, and so many more!

Any doubts anyone could have had on my love for food was wiped away completely, when during my stay at Korea for 2 month, I found myself relishing Beef Sashimi (yup, that's raw beef) and totally loving dog stew (don't judge me please ;) ) as much as I enjoy Biriyanis and Burgers!

I've also started cooking a lot at home (master chef inspired !) and baking as well (Amateur level)

With the number of photographs I take of food, and share .. it felt like a logical step to end up here where I can document my love of food.
I mean, one might fall in and out of love with your high school sweetheart, but the love of food - it's like finding your soulmate... the keeper ... and this blog, it's gonna be my form of PDA ;)

Bon Appetit!
