My cooking has mainly been inspired by these books which were gifted to me earlier in life by my Sisters, Mabel Dias (Prashad), Zenia Machado (Khana Khazana), Sheryl Newnes (Heart healthy & Low fat cooking).  My close friend Viola Netto gifted me The East Indian cookery book soon after my marriage and it served as a perfect guide to my meal preparation as a new home-maker. My note-books contain precious recipes shared by my Aunt Prescilla Fernandes and my neighboour Irene Vaz. Am not sure if they would remember sharing their recipes with me but I certainly do.  Some of the books are in tatters just proving how much they have been used!

Today, I acknowledge their contribution with a grateful Thank-you!

My collection of cookery books, some gifted to me, some purchased, not very many in my treasure….

I do watch cooking shows, time permitting and my favorite Celebrity Chefs/shows to name a few, are Vah Re Vah Sanjay Thumma, Khana Khazana Sanjeev Kapoor, Tarla Dalal. I have many of Aditya Bal’s recipes from NDTV Goodtimes. I enjoy Fatafeat, especially Take-home-Chef Curtis Stone, Jamie Oliver, Julia Child, Nigella Lawson..love the way she seduces the food on her show.

I am still learning to cook new and interesting foods, something which I will continue doing for as long as I can!
