cooking - a great therapy

Cooking is a chore, yes it is. And who likes chores, of course, nobody. But there is one chore in the world that given time and means i would love to to do over and over again. The joys of cooking are not new, they have been discovered, rediscovered and then re-re-discovered again...Food art, food photography, food blogs, food politics, what is unheard of?

I love cooking like I love a new pair of lingerie. The smell of home made pound cake, the taste of freshly chaunked daal, the smell of fresh cut coriander on a plate of aloo-jeera, the aroma from a bowl of piping hot mutton biryani- this is love, fresh, pure, ever changing, reinventing, everlasting..

When I go through the lowest of lows, cooking helps me block the deep dark menacing thoughts out of my head. When I am happy, a good plate of food makes me ecstatic.

Simple food, complicated food, anything that has flavor, is mine to love and to eat. Good food is like a tall glass of cold water on a hot summer day. It quenches your thirst and leaves you wanting more.

I think the best think every food lover and cook should do is a keep a camera handy. No matter what you cook, how you cook, how you dress it up or not, just get a shot, and put it up there.

Cooking is a very addictive art, and one that is healthy, so dont be shy just be camera happy.

I hope i can live up to my own suggestions some day soon......
