Splendid Spaghetti Bolognese

Posted on by Manisha’s Kitchen

Spaghetti is a healthy and very delicious dish. Not just only in Italy but it is famous around the world. I love Italian fresh herbs and various types of ingredients which makes this dish splendid and flavour full. Spaghetti is one of my favourite dishes as it is simple to make and gives you a nutritious meal. When I came to England in 1999 I learned this recipe from my in-laws. I started to make different versions of the dish and tried to learn different Italian dishes. Now i’m a spaghetti lover. So my aim is to make you fall in love with Spaghetti Bolognese!!! “Squistito”. “Delizioso”!!!

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.
