Hey there!!
Myself Monika.The cook and photographer behind this blog! I am so happy you’re here!.I am software engineer and I Love Preparing the food.When I was in Bangalore I started my carrier as Website Developer and Designer.I was born and brought up in India. My dad working as PWD Officer in Goa and my mom is a housewife. I have 2 brothers and they live in India. I am blessed to have a such a wonderful family, who have supported me in every decision of my life.I live in Kansas City with my husband, Naveen. We got married in 2015.He works as a Software engineer in IBM and he got promoted with new opportunity in United State of America, so we moved to USA in November 2017.Basically my husband is from Karnataka and I am from Maharashtra.Two different State,Cultures and language.Naveen is my big Supporter and his constant encouragement pushes me to give my best to this blog even in my life generally.I want to share a picture of me and my husband.
Wants to tell more about me…..
Okay then!!! lets get started…I started this blog in 2019 as a creative outlet for me to express my love for food eating and cooking. It was Naveen’s suggestion to start this blog so that I could have a record of all my recipes. I thought it was a good idea since it would also help me kill some time.At that time, I did not have a work visa and was struggling to pass time in this new country.I had never baked a cake in my life till 2 years back and I know it’s difficult to believe it considering the number of baking recipes I have on the blog!.I fell so much in love with the art and science of baking that now I literally live and breath.
Too many times I’ve come across stuff in cookbooks with ingredient.My mother and my granny is a good cook and she tells me cooking tips.I remember that when i invited my husband colleague’s family to my home for the dinner and I prepared fish fry and chicken Masala gravy. These family loves my food and his wife gifted me a cookbook and baking stuff.she told me you are great cook and you have a magic in your hands.So I try to feature everyday real food at home with everyday ingredients you can find at grocery stores.I am a big fan of Kunal Kapoor (Indian Masterchef ), Multi-Michelin Star Chef Gorden Ramsay(British Chef).I watched each and every episodes of Hell kitchen nightmares.I wanted to visit Gorden Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen restaurant at Caesars Palace which is located in Las Vegas (USA). I heard a lots of good reviews on this restaurant, so my husband planned for it and we visited this restaurant on our wedding anniversary. As a fan of the show I had high expectations. I was not disappointed. Did the 3 course signature menu with fried chicken sandwich, Jidori chicken scallopini. and sticky toffee apple pudding dessert..It was so delicious and Excellent presentation.I want to share picture of our wedding anniversary celebrated @ hell’s kitchen ☺️.
I am not a chef, not a trainer just lots and lots of trials and errors while I make mistakes and learn as I go along in the kitchen.As we know “No one is perfect”.I want to try a new recipes and share with you.If you tried my recipes and loved it(or even if you didn’t),let me know!!!.Also feel free to share my recipes, photos to your friends and family.I will definitely try my best…
Now, Lets go and have a fun in the kitchen 😉✌🏻!!!!!.
