Me, Myself…

 

img_4455Mom, daughter, wife, analyst, homemaker, gardener all rolled into one! My love for cooking started even when  I was in school. Over the years, my cooking  has been influenced by the people I have met, places I have lived in, my grandmom, amma and my sisters!  The blog started as a hobby when I was a homemaker and i am amazed to see the number of people whose lives it has touched!

I draw inspiration from anywhere/anyone  around me and love trying new dishes and posting about new cuisines. Most of my recipes are low calorie,low sugar, high fiber and healthy as I believe that its important to eat smart too. My blogs are an attempt to revive the traditional recipes that were handed over to me by my grand mothers, and also to infuse some of the recent day recipes, and modern cuisines, with a healthy touch. As food is a common platform that everybody can relate to, I believe that my blog site would do just that.

Anubhavati is one who experiences…Come, experience and enjoy my journey!

    take care

    bye….

  39. nice blog. shall visit very often as my son and husband both loves to taste new recipes always.

  41. Dear Shoba,

    My name is Daniel Bingham. About a year ago, I got frustrated with the existing recipe sharing communities and got an idea for a new one. For the last year, I have been working to make that idea a reality. It is called Fridge to Food ( http://www.fridgetofood.com ).

    When you visit Fridge to Food, you’ll notice that each user has a number after their name. That number is reputation. When you post recipes on Fridge to Food, other people can vote on them. When they vote your recipes up, you’ll gain reputation. It is a measure of how much the community has come to trust you.

    As you gain reputation on Fridge to Food you will gain more privileges and more responsibilities on the site. Eventually, there will be little difference between the moderators, like me, and the users with the highest reputations. Ultimately, Fridge to Food is not my website. It is your community. I do not run the community. You do.

    I have only recently finished the basic tools that make such a community possible. I have begun to work on more advanced ones, but I have also begun to build the community itself. Every community has to start small and Fridge to Food is no different. To grow the community I dream of, I am writing to food bloggers such as yourself and asking you to join us. Join our community and help it grow. Share your favorite recipes. Help another cook by photographing their recipe. Vote on photographs. Vote on a few recipes. And share the site with your family, friends and readers.

    With your help, we can build a community of cooks, chefs, photographers and eaters from all over the world and a collection of recipes and photographs to rival any that has come before it.

    Sincerely,
    Daniel Bingham
    Founder, Fridge to Food

  46. Dear Shobha,

    Can you put a new tag – traditional – for the recipes that truly are…. will help us all revive the old magic…

    One more request – please give the traditional recipes the way they come – do not try to make them healthy…. you can always post a healthy version…

    Cooking is dying in India…. I am learning it so that I can teach my daughters about our rich culinary heritage…

    Regards,

    Aseem
