About me
In the beginning there was a little girl who enjoyed food especially the ones her amma (mom) and achi (grandmom) cooked…ate their food as if she starved for days together; an excellent food critic who never ever participated in the cooking process; comments on even the mildest mistakes in cooking (less salt…too much salt...too much oil…blaaah blaaah!!)…She grew up thinking that women who cook all the time have nothing worth doing in life… but little did she know that she would be a different person when she turned 20. That’s when her passion for cooking began and it has been on the increase since then. And that girl is ME!!!!!!

I run the Indian food blog, A foodie n her cooking hat. http://www.spicesnaroma.blogspot.com/

This space will carry recipes of authentic Indian dishes, of-course a lot from my amma's, mother-in-law's and achi's kitchen and their cooking tips and tricks to survive the trade. I am exploring other cuisines as well so you will find a whole lot of others too. Most of my recipes are something which I have grown up eating. Being a typical foodie and a cook, I give importance on the freshness of the ingredients used. I prefer fresh produce and organic varieties. I love to shop in my local farmer's market every Sunday .There is no harm to shell out couple of more dollars to get the nature's best.
