First of all thank you for letting me into your kitchens because I am a total novice. I’m just a 20 something year old blogger who recently had an interest in cooking after realizing that theres nothing like a home cooked meal, and you can not survive on takeout. All my life I have always shied away, actually run away, from the kitchen. I thought I was being a feminist, HA HA HA , when in reality all I was doing, was being lazy! I hated cooking and I hated looking at raw meat and fish (ok that still applies). Apparently I thought I could live off of processed food and whatever takeout menu I had. Now that I am a bit older and wiser, (uh huh) I understand the importance of eating a home cooked meal, its not only good for you but you get to eat and spend quality time with the people you love. Food brings people closer together. Coming from an Indian-Bengali family, you quickly learn as a fetus that food is everything. Food not only plays a part in the jubilant times of life, it plays a bigger part in the days that are grave and filled with sorrow. I never wanted to create a food blog to become the next foodie nor did I want to create a healthy blog because honestly, I am not one to eat healthy, so you probably should not take my advice. I created a food blog because I am a Journalism student and needed to practice my newfound love of cooking and I also need to practice my writing skills. So I thought, this would be the perfect way to hone two crafts at once. I am not an expert in living the healthiest lifestyle so this is A blog dedicated to comfort food and not worrying about being bikini ready.
