India's Cuisine is as diverse as
its regions. Its history can be traced back thousands of years.
Each region's cuisine has been influenced by the areas surrounding
it,as well as India's many religions. |
 |
| |
| Food patterns in India can certainly
be linked to a region's natural eniornment and religious practices,but
foreign influence also has played a large part. India's cuisine
is as rich and diverse as her people.The spectrum of Indian
cuisine can be said to lie between 2 dietary extremes;vegetarianism
and meat eating. |
| |
| It is the spices that give Indian
food the exotic colours,textures,tastes and flavours.The ingenious
art of using spices in different permutations is what makes
Indian cuisine throughly unique.It is difficult to justify reference
to such a complex,varied and beautiful cuisine by the all embracing
term "curry". The word "curry"originated
from the Tamil word "kadi"which simply means sauce. |
| |
| Like all other facets of life, India'
s culinary traditions are also constantly changing in relation
to vegetarianism and non vegetarianism whereby adherence to
a specific food habit becomes a powerful symbol of ethnic group
and religious orientation. |

with and experimenting with food,cooking processes and baking
used to be a great source of satisfaction and joy.

When in India I had my full fledged

to have created chocolates for a very high profile family of
an ex raja in New Delhi for their family wedding function and

We moved to the US and intially could not work due to visa restrictions.I utlized that wait for the coveted "green
card" by constantly reading in the library.meeting and
discussing food habits and differences in cooking styles as
compared to traditional Indian style of cooking.Every visit
to India I also learnt new dishes from family and friends. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Customer service has been my primary
focus.I make it a point to discuss all the minute details with
my client as per his /her requirements and take notes to remind
myself during the preparation processs. |
