About me

Hi Friends

Thank you for visiting my blog!!

To introduce about me..I'm Sathyasuganya, the writer and photographer of this blog. I'm living in USA with my husband Sivakumar and my 4 year old smart kid Sashwat.

As most of the ladies say, I too learned cooking only after my marriage. I just know to prepare tea pre-marriage. My mom is a great cook. I always admire the way she cooks. She cooks so fast and also every time it turns yummy too. But I never showed interest to learn cooking, as I got tasty food everyday. After my marriage one fine day came, where I was left alone in the kitchen to prepare sambar for lunch. I made a total mess, putting chana dal instead of toor dal, also added a full tsp of turmeric powder to get an attractive colour:) After such a terrible 1st experience in cooking, I realized that eating is a necessity but cooking is an art. Then I always used to call my mom and trouble her for each & every step of whatever I cooked.

My husband being a good critic, always gives me the right feedback, which helped me to improve a lot in my cooking. My little one is the sole reason for further improvisation in my cooking. He is a good taste indicator and never eats a food if something in it is lacking or excess. So I used to be very careful in preparing the food to make him eat. From my experience, I felt anything cooked with care, love & affection always adds a new flavor to the food. I always try new recipes whenever I invite some guests. Its weird right?:) But it worked well for me everytime, as I used to be more cautious that nothing should go wrong.

My passion for cooking really started once Sashu started eating solid foods. When I started to search a variety of recipes for him, I came across so many food blogs. I got impressed by the photographs in those blogs and I started exploring them. Also I started to experiment sweets & snacks, as here in US we don't have sweet shops in all places.Though there are some branded canned sweets in Indian shops, I usually wont prefer that. Nothing equals the homemade fresh ones.What say?

I went crazy on taking photographs whenever I prepare some special food, in order to show my mom on Skype. Also I like anything presented in an aesthetic way. But I never ever thought of starting a food blog, until I posted some of my clickings on Facebook. Some of my friends & my hubby motivated me to start a blog & now I'm here into the world of food blogging.

I don't admit myself as an excellent cook. Practice makes anyone perfect. Most of the recipes I post here are borrowed from my mom, referred from some food blogs and friends. Here I only post the successful recipes I have tried. I also apologize for not posting step-by-step pictures, as I have to put a lot of work all by myself right from cooking, arranging and composing a perfect shot before my kid returns from school(or else he'll pesture me for the camera:-) But I will try my level best to give clear instructions on step-by-step procedures.

My other interests are painting, arts & crafts and now food photography.

Hope you all enjoy my blog!!
