Sometimes the most delicious food is the most easiest to make, and the art of my craft is knowing what needs to go in and what needs to be excluded. That's what makes a good chef. Boasting?? Nope! Just grateful I'm gifted with this amazing urge to learn and grateful for all my teachers who taught me the nuances of great food.

Still learning, still eager and forever grateful.

As a kid growing up in Mangalore, onam was all about walking around the gardens picking wild flowers and making an onam kalam, representing a flower carpet to welcome mahabali to our house. Brought back some nostalgia as I went around the fishing village picking flowers that I found.

Due to strong winds the symbolism has to be on my welcome table.. 😆 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹
