hi there,
welcome to Roshans Cucina - the food blog for the foodie!
this
blog was born out of a dream. my dream, besides a career in writing,
was to write a recipe book. as a young girl, i have always thought that
writing recipes was a fascinating thing...may be because i was used to
eating tasty and a variety of food prepared by my mother....the
curiosity of my mother to try new things has nurtured a thought in me to
find the finest of food and the finest way of preparation....
since
recipe books are almost outdated now and it is the era of food
blogs....here you are at Roshan's Cucina. i am an Anglo India brought up
in a hill station called Valparai (and now live in Kochi) i think this
gave me enough time to just dream. i used to wake up to green / blue
mountains and a few minutes of meditation and all the beautiful flowers
in the garden...oh yeah...it was the days of flower power and all....a
nice, slow & peaceful life.....!
at
Roshans Cucina you can find a blend of Kerala & Indian cuisine
as well as recipes from around the world. i have tried these recipes and
have posted only the ones that have come out well....there are certain
amount of experimentation which you can see in the bakes - in the
pumpkin bread, etc and in curries - like the Tangy Tamarind Chicken
Curry and some other recipes.Besides recipes, there are short cuts for
preparation for the busy ladies & 'gentlemen' who do not want to
compromise on 'taste & time'.
if
you would like to know why this name for the blog, then - Roshan is my
pet name and Cucina means kitchen in Italian, but in Anglo Indian homes
kitchen used to be called Cucinjha...i rather chose Cucina - dont know
the reason myself.....so thats the connection...
......thanks
for reading through....feel free to navigate the blog through the
'labels'. don't forget to Like the FB page or follow me on twitter - that helps spread the word...he he...
