Today I would like to share my experience, the most common experience regardless of weather you are in us or in India, the experience which everyone would face when they start to live alone or with friends.

So, I guess everyone had tasted and smelled their first MADIPOYINA(dont know the exact word in English) food .

After struggling to cook for the first time and successfully finishing the most awaited dish, you had to eat something that you would never touched back at home.

And I guess somehow you managed to like it, I dont know how most of you felt but I definitely liked my first dish because I really had to waste a long time on it .

During which, I cried while cutting the OniOns- everyones enemy while cutting but the must and mostly used vegetable, I called my mom at least ten times to ask about the recipe, I searched net 100 times to know the names of spices in English And  I prayed 1000 times to god to make my first Cooking experiment successful.

Alas, after a struggle of nearly 2 hours I came to know that few recipes are not meant to be cooked in steal utensils. I was so hungry by that time that i did not mind about the taste of the food and its color I just sat on the table and started eating.

The second time when i started cooking, I was nervous, this time i really wanted to do well and i actually did something which was not as bad as it was on the first time. Gradually my interest to cook and the taste of my food was improving .

The last thing on earth i thought i would enjoy was cooking but now i started to enjoy it and I also started to experiment with different recipes, I started to take chances with different kinds of dishes, sometime the food was good and sometimes i had to throw it out .

During my experiments I started searching for recipes on the net and found many interesting sites and Blogs which were really useful.

So, If your at home and planing to go to us then start learning to cook, moms are the best teachers they know your taste so they can really teach you how to cook according to your taste.

And if you are away from your home then i would suggest you to cook, the more frequently you cook the better it will taste. And I really feel the that during all the difficult times you will TASTE in US the last thing you would not want is your food to taste bad. So, Learn to cook, Learn to enjoy cooking.

I havent posted any article about cooking in the blog. This is the firts article about cooking, when every student coming to US will cook one day or another.

I had my moms hand written receipe when Iused to cook, but within couple of month, I was able to create my own cooking style.

Recipes are good, but reading a recipe is not same as watching someone cook.

If I were to cook today, I will refer to Vahreh Vah Chef (youtube videos). You can see cooking videos from an animated chef.
