I am Ashha D.Raj, a passionate cook and this blog is a tribute to my mom, “Baby Amma”, who was an awesome cook and her culinary skills were praised by all the dear and near. She hailed from a renowned authentic family where all the ladies down the generations had excellent cooking skills.

Whenever she cooked for guests who were due to visit our home, it was always a wide spread and she was not satisfied with a small spread. She was not only meticulous from buying and storing groceries and vegetables but also had specifications on where to buy each one. She would never taste the food as she cooks, but just from the smell, she would know whether the salt or sweet in the dish was sufficient or not. She never approved my cooking nor allowed me to cook till she was alive. Basically I have seen her culinary magic and have grasped from her, all the tiny whiny details.
