Something for you

It is no secret that I love to see, read and explore about food. Yes looking at me no one can guess that I like food in the first place. But yes I do. Especially anything with cheese or olives on. Recently I came across some such articles which may not include one of my favorites (eggs to an absolute vegetarian?) but still the way of writing article itself invoked me to read more. I always like reading about how a dish got invented, its historical connotations.
This started with weekly food columns on food and an end recepie in specials called lok rang of loksatta. That had me fixated. Later having a monthly subscription of (now defunct) food magazine for a year made me almost obsessed with food and food related articles. I liked collecting articles on food and food related items, reading on origin of a particular food. And one fine day if I do a C1 and C2 (last most levels of alliance francaise de Bombay) it will be for “gastronomie” theme. I collect books, and recipes and read lots of blogs and if I tune in to TV its either “chota bheem” on pogo or discovery travel and living. Out of them I always like Rachael allen “Bake” and Kylie kwong “my china” and “simply magic” in my better(?) half’s language “kilie koong”, “globe guide” and some such shows.
I have taken a lot of “trash” from Jamshedpur to Mumbai in form of “graphiti” a complimentary booklet in “the telegraph” which we dutifully kept safely by my MIL (mom in law) for me. In that there is a food section by rahul verma, that I read during my stay in Jamshedpur. Now I have an online copy of it.
I have ordered books like “Climbing The Mango Trees” by Madhur Jaffrey and “the beach boy” by Ardeshir irani. While Madhur jaffery is known world wide for her culinary talents, adreshir irani’s book review had come in the “food magazine” , both books are now in my possession.
This interest never ceases and this is what prompted me to send two links of some good food related articles recently read in times of India. Do read it when and if you have time
