Eat in or take-out ?

December 30, 2007.

"I am hungry, let's grab a bite to eat"..... we must have said and heard this line a countless times. And yet most solutions to serving this hungry statement are found in high priced eateries, fast-food joints, quick-serve frozen foods and packaged meals. So much that, many a times, all meals that we eat in a day are either "eat-ins" or "take-outs".

The hungry glands in the body, the foodie nerves in the brain, all seem to be yearning for something filling, something tasty yet something that's easily obtainable. To which the above meal ideas seem to be the quickest solution. Alas, only a tiny proportion of these meals can be classified as "nourishing", "wholesome", "food for the soul", or "mom's cooking".

The harvest is plenty, but real satisfaction after a hearty meal comes rarely. The quest for which leads one into ones own kitchen. Highly passionate about the food that reaches my platter and equally zealous of putting together this meal, my quest very often begins with browsing through numerous food-recipe sources and ends in my kitchen for the experiments that follow. The whole experience is a new challenge every time. A delicious, balanced and healthy meal is it's reward!

No eat-in or take-out experience can compete with the satisfaction and health benefits of cooking up your very own earthly concoctions :) With the launch of this little space, I hope to try out this very idea of putting together home-cooked meals and different recipes to delight hungry palates!

I won't promise I will always blog specifically about these experiences, but with time the blog will surely thrive with other earthly delights!

Cheers & Happy blogging!!
