Cooking is a real ‘ART’.
                               Every culture has a unique food philosophy. The way we cook our food tells a lot about who we are. Flavours develops, interests originates. Likewise, Factor in the cultural diversity of India and we could have similar debates played out a million times over. Palates may be formed by socio-cultural influences, but the act of cooking itself is a spiritual pursuit. Whether one is cooking daily for loved ones or preparing prasadam for thousands in a gurdwara or temples donning the chef's apron occasionally over weekends, cooking can elevate the soul to great heights. It is precisely for this reason that the experience inside a me could be heavenly bliss.

    Food is a universal necessity. But it is only human beings who endeavour to transform food into something more. Several archaeologists and evolutionary biologists contend that cooking was, and still is, crucial to our evolution. Not only did it stimulate mastery over fire and necessitated innovation in tool making, but by eating cooked food, we were able to increase our energy output for other creative pursuits. As primitive hunter-gatherer societies developed into more sedentary ones, cooking became a social activity. The preparing and sharing of food came to define relationships within families as well as in the larger community. Food became central to community celebrations. What would Deepvali without holige tuppa , Christmas be without cakes and Eid without kheer.
