ABOUT ME!!

Hello There,

Welcome Home!!

The Simmering Wok is my virtual space where I'd love to share random ramblings, my cooking experiments, my memories woven around food. So you find a wee bit of everything that I'd call home.

What started randomly in 2009 as a time killing hobby turned out to be therapeutic and most importantly what I'd resonate myself with. 

This blog helped me evolve as a better cook and taught me how to comfortably sell disaster dishes to my husband without a hint of doubt :)

Well in all honesty - I do that at times when i just dish up something so random that tastes decent but I am in a fix as to how do I sell it to my husband.

Photography:

I have had several upgrades with my . I remember capturing my recipes with a  2.5 MP camera initially for my blog (That was what all I had), so you may see some low quality or hazy pictures as you browse through 2009 collection. Subsequently, I have upgraded mine to 5 MP followed by 13 MP. 

I own a DSLR now but I still need to learn the tricks and techniques.

So grab a cup of coffee and read my blog.

Do take a minute and let me know what you feel about my blog or recipes documented here, it cheers me :).

Update

Previously The Simmering Wok was known as Aathidhyam under my pen name Chaitra.

Get on board, let's cook and click.

Much Love

Sindhura
