Academy of Culinary arts Bangalore blogs_Cooking with your heart


Being a working woman, it is but anyone’s guess that what type of cook I must be. One of my uncles told me that my cuisines  resembled  a ‘railway catering’ type of cooking. Those were my teens. And now I am a woman in my early 30s. And proud to announce that my cooking has improved…. I mean I’d like to believe so !
When I was in my early 20s, Cooking was one art i avoided. I loved eating, but cooking ?! Nah!!  Then I saw my mother cooking  in the kitchen like anything and making some out of the world, delicious food and that did inspire me. So, with courage in my heart and spirits in my soul, I set off. I could make some snacks as I have already told, but I decided to do something big and decided to make ‘Pulao’ .


I started by having mother by my side. I asked her how to make a dish as delectable like hers and she guided me through the whole process. I did cook and the pulao was made, and everything was well. Only thing...it was not as delicious as my mother’s pulao. What  did it lack , I thought….everything was up to the corner. And I never could find the answer.
Now, that I think about my cooking , I know what my dishes lack, it lacks the love of my mother. The way my maa sprinkles the special care and attention and most of all the love of feeding  good food to her guests….I lack that.

Survival guide with just 5 ingredients - Chef Shailesh

I think we’re lucky, really lucky because we live in a civilized and urban world where nearly everything we wish to eat can be easily delivered to our doorstep using an app. The saying “No one knows a man better than his grocer” may well have been usurped by “no one knows a man better than his food delivery app”. Consider also that talented chef’s today are experimenting and creating Indian haute cuisine in an attempt to command respect globally. Such cuisine is truly Indian but when presented looks identical to the highest quality French cuisine . Chefs are pushing boundaries and opening boutique restaurants where Indian favourites like butter chicken aren’t even on the menu. At such restaurants, the traditional Indian naan is being served stuffed with blue cheese which at times leads first-time diners to inform the chef that the cheese in the naan is spoiled! Yet undeterred, Indian chefs continue to push the boundaries of Indian cuisine. But while the lifestyles of us big city dwell...
