About Me,Myself...
Its been on my mind to write an
impetuous About page. Although never really mustered time & got the right
scripture to pen down. I created an About me Column in the RHS side bar when
this blog kicked off 2.5 years ago , but now I feel , its High Time , I have an
About Page .
A
West – Indian ( Mumbai) upbringing in a South Indian gal .Right now residing in
London.There is diversity in Taste , Language, Culture,Style and eagerness to
learn more anytime. An IT - HR professional , now a SAH Mum running a Tom n
Jerry Time with my lil one all the while.
My
basic cooking skills has been drilled into me by my Mum .I have never read a
cookbook before until I started to blog. Just love to cook whatever I glimpse
and relish..
My
Culinary Guru is Gordon Ramsay. I am so thoroughly inspired by him . “He would
always mention in his programs , do it with passion , use fresh produce ,
present it the way you would love treat your palate".
Sandhya's
Kitchen
My first introduction to blogging
was for my little boy Vedant aka my lil V /Lil Monster when he was born.
Established a blog on him,doting his milestone moments ,capturing them in the
form of pictures , so that some years down the lane , It would be a treasure
cove..
After a year and half , one fine
morning I felt why not compile a soft copy of all the recipes I have collected
in my Recipe Book. Started writing in my notepad .. and then it occurred to me
..Lets work up a Gastronomy Blog. That’s the conspiratorial beginning of
Sandhya’s Kitchen.
My Love & Passion for Cooking
grew after meeting this handsome Hunk Mr SK who would never tire of praising and
appreciating everything I cook. No matter how disastrous it could be. By Product
of this Passion is Sandhya's Kitchen.
Sandhya's Kitchen is a very
passionate culinary corner where I ponder & experiment
Cooking..
Recipes
All the recipes in
this blog are created with utmost affection....I never attempt to copy any
recipe, rather try do some variations and give it a personal touch . Source for
my recipes are an A la carte - from parents , parents -in - law ,grandma ,
friends , tele programs , cook books ( less .. coz I hardly read books) ,
recipes collected over years, internet ,off course own innovation,invention and
experiments..All recipes in this blog are tested and cooked by me. Most South
Indian recipes are inspired from our family cooking. More recipes are under
progress and will be added from time to time. Any recipe adopted from any
cookbook,blog,webpage or person will be given due credit for it !!!
Food Photography
Always loved to pose for a picture
.And who wouldn't?? I would hardly get hold of a camera from Mr SK and shoot
any.. After starting to ramble in my blog about food, I realised it required
some picture representation… I have spend hours snapping pictures at eccentric
times... And I really mean it.. To a large extent ,I had not understood the
importance of day light pictures.. Until Dec 2009 , I have used a Canon P &P
for pictures.
From Jan 2010 , Voila its Canon 500
D .. I use 18-55 mm , 55-250 mm lens for my photography. Possessing a DSLR,
ticking in Auto Mode only gave me contentment for sharper images..With tutorials
from to be photographer friends and time to time hands on experience , I started
exploring other settings ( AV mode / Manual) ,gradually comprehending Day
Light photography... And I m still learning everyday...I m in love with my DSLR
and love clicking anything ... primarily styled food .J ... , Lil V , people ,
landscapes...
Reading about Photography more and
more only helps in better understanding.. You can see them in my journey till
today !!!!
I have a newer addition to my
family – Canon 50 mm f1.8 Lens… 
Practice.. Practice And
Practice !!!
