The 30min chef

My mother has never ever laid her foot in the kitchen. She has never cooked us any meal let alone prepare a salad. There's always been someone to do all the cooking. Even my own father has cooked us breakfast, lunch, and even dinner plentiful of times. This is why, as I was growing up, I never really felt the need to learn how to cook since my warm meals were always ready on time at the table.

But then, when I was about to leave for university, I decided it was time to learn. And so I entered the kitchen every morning and watched how all the dishes were prepared. I noted it all down in my little green cookbook.

I then went abroad and had a go at these dishes and you know what. I wasn't bad at all. I mean, my dishes weren't perfect but they all tasted good. Some were even delicious.  And with time I started enjoying cooking for my friends when they came over. My food was never bland and I was generous with my spices. I started cooking quick dishes and slowly reverted to healthier options after living with the MaxMara model and the Vegetarian Lawyer.

One thing I could never ever do is bake a cake. I could make you a biryani, curries, oven-baked dinners but never a cake. I promise to learn it one day though.

Perhaps I will share some of my 30min quick, yummy recipes with you in future posts.

Now, If I had a gorgeous kitchen, I would fill it up with these uber-cute utensils only to encourage my mastery to come out.

Here they come, my coveted utensils of the day.

Till we meet again,
