COOKING ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE

              What's the first thought that comes to your mind when you see your mother cooking? Wow! She's a super women. You would get confused if she is not at home. The only thing you would prefer to cook is "Maggie". Instead of doing so, try to cook something simple, like salads, sandwiches, burger or Indian recipes like lemon rice, dosa( if batter is available), may be even a cup of coffee. You may fail at the first attempt but slowly you will learn and fall in love with it. Cooking isn't something which only mothers and aunties do, it is an art, there is no constrains for learning an art. Our country is known for its exotic cuisine, its popular worldwide. It'll be an achievement  if you learn to make two dishes in every cuisine.
                The first dish, I made was 'fruit salad'. It was a simple dish so there was no question of failing in it. I was just 8, when I made it. Later, cooking became my hobby, I cook when I'm happy, when I'm sad and whenever I feel low. It gives me a refreshment feel. I cook for others when I'm happy because I want see the same happiness in their eyes too. My cooking makes me feel special and superior than others, that's the reason I cook when I'm sad. Every tasty dish I make is an achievement for me. Nigella Lawson is my inspiration for cooking, she is the one who made me realize that cooking is an art too. Her way of cooking and admiration for it, attracted me and inspired me to cook. I feel that I imitate her while cooking.
                  Cooking is not meant only for housewives, I know that we all are living a very busy lifestyle. In our busy life we can afford at least an hour in week, to cook. On Sunday's, try to cook for your family, trust me, you can never forget the happiness you see in their eyes. The best way to impress your loved ones is to cook for them. It is said that food is the way to man's heart, dear men, its the way to women's heart too. Every girl expects a surprise dinner from her man, she would be overwhelmed if you cooked for her. If you are confused and not sure what to cook, try something in potatoes, remember, the golden rule of cooking, you can never go wrong with potatoes!
                    Like all the other art forms even cooking gained its importance through T.V. shows and reality shows like Master Chef, Hell's kitchen,etc. these shows transformed cooking as a fashionable art and increased the sales of recipe books and CD's. Try to prepare at most one dish a week. During, weekends stop aimlessly browsing the internet, step into the kitchen and start cooking. Few of your attempts may fail but you'll definitely succeed one day, after all, "cooking isn't a rocket science".
