My name is Deepak Talwar. If the name is a little difficult to pronounce - specifically my last name - no worries. Been married for 5 yrs and the wife has still not got it right. Friends call Me Dee - Name given to Me by my wife - Amy.
I am a working Dad & I like to cook. In fact - I love to cook. And for sure I love to eat. And what I enjoy most is to eat food I cook for my family - with all the Love I have for them. Nothing tops the satisfaction of cooking for family and sharing the meal with them. And believe you Me; I always cook better when I am cooking for family than when I cook only for myself. E.g. - Omelet - always turns out just right when I make it for Amy - the flip is perfect, perfect circle remains & the cheese is always right. When I do it for myself, it looks like the Map of the United States at best.
A bit about this blog - I just decided to start sharing what I was cooking on a given day and what I was pairing with my meals - my choice of poison basically. A push from friends and family was encouragement for sure. I usually follow minimal or no recipes while I cook. There are a ton of recipes to make any given dish that are available on the net. Even if I follow a recipe, I treat it as a template at best and then go with the flow. I go by feel as for measurements - at times precision does help though. So I don’t plan to, for the most part, share recipes (owe it to so many requests - I decided to publish an approximation :)). I intend to share my experience of the day & any new insights which come along while I cook. And when I am in the kitchen there are a lot of experiences worth sharing...
Hope it’s fun.
As always - Love is the most important ingredient.
