About Me

I’m a happily married 27 year old who only started to cook two years ago!  I couldn’t even boil pasta to save my life!  Thank goodness for my mother’s genes, I’ve come a far cry from there.  Although my mom is a fantastic cook, she’s a horrible teacher and hated having anyone in her kitchen, her domain.  So a lot of my creations were a result of a combination of listening to tidbits of recipes through our phone conversations (which often went put a little bit of this and that) and filling in the wholes with recipes/videos I saw online. The bulk of my preliminary creations were disasters.

This blog is a journey to chronicle all that I’ve learned (and continue to learn) as there really is a lack of Sri Lankan Tamil blogsites out there – a plethora of South Indian recipes exist but few focusing on the techniques and ingredients of the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora.

Thank you for joining me in this journey as we unfold the pages of my cookbook and culinary adventures!
