Who is cooking
A mother, a kitchen in Madurai, and a very honest food critic
Every recipe here starts the same way: something needs to go on the table, and a toddler needs to actually eat it. What works gets written down. What does not gets tried again next week.
Nothing on this site is untested, and nothing needs an ingredient you cannot find at the local shop.
One new recipe, once a week
No spam, no sales pitch. Just what we cooked and how it went.
