"A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it." This quote describes me aptly. I am a hands-on mom who entered the kitchen as a necessity after marriage with the sole cooking experience of making tea. Born in a Bengali family where the emphasis was only on higher education we were actually discouraged to even enter the kitchen ! so naturally, I grew up with a complete indifference to cooking which later on developed into aversion as I entered adulthood! But the picture changed completely after marriage. Being married to a person whose profession demands lots of "khana & khilana" I was left with no other option but to set aside my aversion and over two decades, I didn't even come to know when it turned into my passion! But it's my children who extracted the best out of me! Their strong taste buds & particular likes & dislikes made this journey more challenging and the saga continues!
