Cooking Fever

After writing a few reviews on mouth watering food, I realized that the real magic comes from the person who has cooked it. "Eating is a necessity but cooking is an art". It has been years that we have been enjoying the delicious food made by our mothers, spouses, chefs & the list goes on. Seldom we realize, how they cook. It is said that real cooking is more about following your heart than following the recipes but then in today's fast paced world, we are more dependent on other sources in order to learn this art.

Cooking is like love

I recently happened to watch this amazing Marathi movie 'Gulabjaam' & it really impressed me with it's story on how a successful banker(Siddharth Chandekar) working abroad leaves his job to find way for his passion. He reaches Pune to his friend's place where he tastes a sweet made by his friend's tiffin service cook. The sweet dish makes him nostalgic. He is hell bound in learning to cook from this lady(Sonali Kulkarni). He leaves no stone upturned & makes all the efforts to learn cooking from her. She has a different story where she happens to loose her memory except for the art of cooking which helps her to keep going in life. After crossing all the hurdles in his life personally & professionally, he still doesn't give up on his passion. Having successfully learnt the art of cooking, he flies abroad & opens his own restaurant so that he can spread the happiness to others which comes from amazing food. Gulabjaam is a movie which teaches us ‘to follow your dreams and see what they lead you to.’ A must watch!

I will always be a foodie by choice because I have the best cook around me. We must really appreciate them for the amazing food that they serve us especially our mothers. They cook for us with so much love that your mouth won't stop watering. So at times, we should show them some gratitude. It is not their duty to cook but they do it lovingly for us. Nothing can stop them from cooking that special dish for us when we feel like having one. Even if they are sick, they will still fulfill your wish & stop your craving. Therefore, least we can do is appreciate & show some love and praise them for what they do selflessly.
