About 'TheSizzlingPan'

Finally got myself to start blogging! Today, September 14, 2009.....and I am all set to cook, click and share!

Why: Being a food enthusiast, I have always wanted to experiment with food, try new recipes and connect with other connoisseurs of food. When I thought about starting this blog, one of the reasons was to feel motivated to come up with or try new recipes inspite of the busy day-to-day routine to kindle my passion for food. It will also give me an opportunity to learn different cuisines, cooking techniques, appreciate various tastes and most importantly...have more fun in my kitchen!

How: My love for food began, way back when I was little. I have sort of 'inherited' the foodie genes from my parents who loved to cook and try out different recipes. My mom would make these incredible recipes and my dad would reward her and us (me and my younger sister) for helping my mom in her passion. These I guess were the roots of my passion. As I grew older, I stepped on my moms footsteps and starting experimenting myself. It gave me immense satisfaction and also gave my mom some rest from her busy routine. After getting married to 'M' who is my long time friend and now husband and becoming a mom to the cutest little boy 'E' and my prettiest flower 'A', I have tried to keep up my passion and interest in food. To combine my passion for food and love for science I completed a Certification course in Food science and Technology offered by Ohio State University. This has helped me understand and appreciate the science of food , the nutrition, the chemistry involved on a whole new level.

What next: Hope I succeed in my mission and get more than what I have expected out of this venture! I have number of ideas for this blog and want to do it in segments.....some ....on top of my mind are....
"Everyday cooking".....where I share my 'day to day' cooking experiences and recipes.
"Nutritious and Delicious"....where I try to take traditional recipes and improve them for a better nutrition.
"Fusion Cuisine".....where I unleash the flavor combinations from various cuisines and put them together into one delicious dish!
"Pat a Cake"....The baker and decorator in me gets to express herself...
"For little tummies".....this one will reflect my experiences in cooking for my little ones.Their tummies are little, but let me tell you, its hard making that baby food!
"Around the world in 30 weekends".......where I try out a recipe from some part of the world every weekend.
"Food For Thought"..where I will be pondering on my 'food' thoughts!
"Aroma from a Guest Kitchen"......where I invite Guests/Friends/Contributors to share their Kitchen's aroma/recipe with us....

My Work:
Most of the recipes here are 'my' recipes. If I use any other recipe as inspiration I have given due credit and mentioned the source in the post. All my work is copyrighted and cannot be duplicated without my permission.

Hope you all enjoy as much I enjoy putting it together!
Thank you for visiting TheSizzlingPan!
