Very interesting, unique profile. 36 countries on 6 continents??!! Wow…

It is a coincidence that I should find your blog just a couple of days ago and you happen to be from Portland, too:). Portland is a great city for vegetarians and vegans.

Keep up the good work!

About the ganache topping for the beet cake… Thanks for the amazingly quick and even more amazingly great tip!! I might try my springform pan which would make life easier, you think? Otherwise it would be a scoop n serve cake..

I dont use olive oil for indian cooking, vegetable or canola oil is best! But on the rare occassion that I only have olive oil on hand, i might use it in Indian food but its not my first preference

Love your blog! Came here via saffronandsilk of Kamini’s. And am in love. I have never seen such a detailed ‘about’ section on a food blog at least. Perfect. I dont have a food blog but really do enjoy cooking. It is a great stress buster. I am also a purist. I read once on another very popular food blog of Mallika Basu http://www.quickindiancooking.com that indian food should not be cooked in olive oil. While I am all up for experimenting in the kitchen, this one I have to agree to. What do you think of that? Yes yes I know you have a thing for olives, lol. No but seriously, I also happen to agree that indian cuisine is quite an art, very precise one at that, be it from any corner of India and olive oil has no place in our desi pantries. peanut, mustard, coconut , sunflower and ofcourse our fav desi ghee is the de rigeur. I have ofcourse used olive oil in a phase of health conciousness, but realised something didnt quite sit right, errr, in the mouth! I tried meat and veggies both- didn’t do it for me I’m afraid! What are your views then?
Nevertheless, I am so enjoying going through your archives…will be sure to try as many recipes here as I can and send you feedback too!
good job here…
cheers

Hey,
I came across your website a few minutes ago on someone’s Facebook and as a writer by profession, let me just say your recipes sound as enjoyable as the words you put down. I loved your conversational style and your sense of humor. The photographs of both yours and your parents’ house look lovely. As a student, I am still awaiting my own little culinary cave.

I love cooking, am vegetarian and am from South India too so I greatly appreciate all the authentic and modified recipes you’ve chosen to share. Will keep reading, so keep posting:-)
