“There is no sincerer love than the love for food”
— George Bernard Shaw.
Hi, I am Manisha, a passionate and creative home cook and also a Comic Chef working for Sodexo @ Royal Air Force in the UK. who loves to brag about my culinary successes, just as I like to laugh at my food (mis)adventures. Yeah, that’s right. I am exactly one of those home chefs in air-quotes, if you know what I mean.
So that’s me. I learnt basic cooking from my mother and my grandmother. Originally from Marathwada India. After marriage I explored my cooking skills. I’m in the cooking world because of my passion, my husband , my children who motivated me to explore my dream comes true . I dream food. Now, yes; but even way back then when my dreams were steered differently. While I was studying school and college in India , my heart would always find itself in my mum’s kitchen. Under assignment pressure, I would still find the time to jot down my mum’s original masala ingredients.
I have been dreaming of food and cooking, practically all of my life. I have been devising my own recipes and cooking both new and modern innovations as well as traditional and heritage foods in my kitchen for practically all of my adult life. I have also worked chef jobs in professional kitchens here in the UK. So, it would seem that I am long overdue on WordPress, with my very own food and recipes blog.
Whether you are a creative chef or are just a ‘grease-n-grind’ home cook who just cooks to survive, I can personally guarantee that the recipes I create here will appeal to you. I keep things simple in instructions and ingredients, and I cater to various different food tastes and choices. I give vegan and vegetarian alternatives wherever possible, just as I give insider tips on how to get things done faster, more efficiently, in a more health-conscious manner or in a tastier-than-normal version. Trust me, you have to go through my recipes in order to know just how valuable they are, and how easy they are to incorporate into your daily food lives.
Hope you enjoy them. Don’t forget to let me know via your comments. Looking forward to your love and encouragement.
Happy Cooking,
Love, Manisha
Hello Friends,
I am Manisha.
Greetings from spices aroma. Ah, what an aroma around, aroma of blooming flowers, freshly mowed lawn, rain on dry mud and in midst of chirping of birds and aroma of spices inside my home wow! Life is full of aromas of all kinds including love, kindness and humanity.
When it comes to cooking my heart fills with joy. I cant say when I started cooking and when it became my passion. As for back as I can go in my childhood memory I only remember that aroma which also use to fill my house for days when my mother use to make "Garam Masala" of freshly grinned and roasted spices . It never faded in my memory and therefore I chose this name "Spice Aroma."
Those were the days trying new dishes, spoiling some raw material getting tired not coming up to what I wanted. All Parents praise their children so mine too. It use to fill me with joy and pride when they praised my dishes and when all this turned in to my passion for cooking I don't remember.
I was nurtured as a vegetarian and planted as a non-vegetarian. Friends I got married at a young age in a total non-vegetarian family and to my surprise I started cooking non-vegetarian dishes as well. Having blessed with two lovely kids and a caring husband I kept my passion intact. Their encouragement kept me going. More I try more I get satisfy.To give my passion a formal shape I learned food and safety by joining a course. I then joined as a chef in Golf club Princes Risborough and worked there for a good 18 months. Friends road up to this point was not easy but as always hard work brings something good in it. I learnt a lot. This work infused many more domain to my cooking, it brought many more qualities to my work like food decoration , table arrangements of the events and cooking for large number of people for the event a total change in out look. I decided then to share all my abilities and love for cooking with you all through this Spice aroma@.....!
I will share with you all small and big dishes, Indian and Western style , all trics and tips which I gathered in these many years.
Your likes, your comments, your praises and your criticism, your corrections , your suggestions all will be my assets in this journey. Please be a part in my journey.
With this spice aroma I also want to share beautiful aromas which never fade are of love ,care and kindness.
With best wishes to all of you.
Yours
Manisha.
