Word Count : 100
My mother was an expert cook. But she was never complacent or boastful. In fact, she was always doubting her own expertise.
According to her, the lavish meals she served, were never up to the mark. However, every single time they turned out to be grand gastronomic experiences.
I am just her opposite. Temperamental in the kitchen and airy about my culinary disasters.
However the dish may turn out, my standing instruction is to “relish it and heap praises on the ‘cooker’, sorry, cook.”

Haha! That is too funny, Geeta. We don’t always inherit our mother’s culinary gifts!

My wife worked in a professional kitchen for over 20 years. Most of the time, she creates the same sorts of meals, it being just the two of us. Occasionally, she’ll experiment with recipes she finds online. She actually owns very few cookbooks.

नुसरत, खाना बनाने की कला विरासत में मिलती है या नहीं मुझे मालूम नहीं है पर रेसिपियां जरूर मिलती हैं। 😂 वैसे यह एक acquired skill है।
मुझे खाना बनाना अच्छा लगता है पर बहुत कुछ मेरे मूड पे निर्भर करता है। कभी कभी मैं बहुत बुरा खाना भी बड़े पारदर्शिता से बना लेती हूं। 😆
पर मा का बनाया हुआ हर दिन का दाल चावल का स्वाद अभी भी ज़बान पे चढ़ा हुआ है और मैं उसका मुकाबला नहीं कर सकती हूं।
ज्वाइंट फैमिली की बड़ी बहू होने के नाते बुरा खाना बनाने का ऑप्शन उनके पास था ही नहीं। हमार पास स्विगी है zomato है इसलिए कामचोरी का विकल्प भी मौजूद है।
