Sandeep started cooking

... and when I landed up in London on Jan 4th, 2012, I never thought that my life would change in many ways...

One of those, worth sharing, is that I was pushed to cook for, who else, myself...! 

Yes, I was dead frightened with the very thought of me cooking...(the image of me cooking.. aaaarrhhh!!!). Near and dear also said, why take risk, as they know, I never cooked anything in my life... (making Maggi 2-min noodles is not considered 'cooking'...)

But a dear friend believed in me and said that cooking is not a difficult task... 
Oh yeah, really...? If so, I said I will, initially.

But when the time came for me to cook, only thing I cooked was plain rice... in a microwave... (Don't ask me If I ate that rice...) Had to watch a couple of videos on youtube.

And then, I finally resolved to do something.... I WILL COOK. With or without Taste...!

Next thing I did was, over a period of 2 weeks, to start buying all those kitchen 'apparatus' that I would require for cooking a single meal/day.

I learnt few basic things and began cooking with (my fav) Tomato curry, then Egg Curry and then Tomaro-Egg Curry... and then so on and on and on...

(Absolute) Beginner tips:
Take out some time from your busy schedule, for shopping... Don't buy in a hurry.
Buy for 2-3 days in mind and in limited quantities (Perishables do perish, quickly..!)
 ...and if you are shopping alone in a new shop/store, you might very well buy a Re 1 thing for Rs 5...! It happens...
...and over a period of time (and with lots of shopping experience at various shops/stores), you will become a better buyer...! Trust me...


I don't want to preach/teach anything here but share my cooking adventures, for people interested in such stuff.

The title of the blog might sound funny, but I am happy with this one...!
