My Culinary Emotions

Okay! I am back here again exactly after two months and four days.  It’s awful, I know.  That feeling of emptiness was always there and I just couldn’t help it.  Or rather, I should put it the other way round; I never made an endeavor to help resolve my emptiness.  Everything that happens is the will of God.  So basically, I never thought that I would ever pen down a food post here on my blog which is called ‘Sentiments’.  Peeps, I started this blog to pen down the most touching moments of my life which are tender, nostalgic, romantic or full of emotion, feelings that I could share with you all.

One fine day while going through my newsfeed on my facebook account, I saw a very good friend of mine posting pictures of the dishes she had made to a group page.  I was curious to know since besides a foodie, I am an avid lover who is always ready to experiment with the little culinary skills that I possess. (Special shout out and big thanks to my mom for that).  The group is called “Chef at Large” better known as CAL.  

It is a wonderful group where people come together on this platform and share their innovative ways of cooking.  My friend pushed me to join and after a couple of days of going through her posts and reading beautiful comments and some awesome pictures of mouth watering delicacies, I decided to join as well.

Forewarning: CAL is contagious. (I am just hooked to the posts and keep reading, admiring, liking and commenting on the awesome posts of great Chefs out there) and am so full of spirit after joining it.   

The slow paced series of posts from my side to the CAL group began.  I was happy to share my posts with pictures and recipes to CAL.  Today incidentally is “Teacher’s Day” too and I prepared an “Eggless Black Forest Cake” on a special demand by my little munchkins.

Everything was homemade that I used and to my surprise, it came out just so wonderfully.  I always used to bake cake but never knew how to decorate it or do the icing on it.  This time I tried my hands on the decoration/icing part.  Before posting, I thought that there are many experts on CAL and I stand nowhere in comparison to them.  But as it is rightly said, “You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know.”  Hence, I decided and moved on to get that icing done on my baked Black Forest Cake and guess what with a homemade whipped cream. Can you guys beat that?

And Voila! My first ever endeavor to decorate it was liked nah! loved by all.  The very evidence of it I got witnessing the million dollar smile on the faces of my little munchkins.  Within minutes of posting getting a call from my better half made me feel as if I am on cloud nine.

I am quiet joyous sharing about my culinary skills with everyone and as I said before, little things in life that makes me feel good, tender, nostalgic, romantic or full of emotions, I share it with you. And lastly, a special shout out to Nisha Ambar who pushed me to come and join the platform called CAL. Babe you know me well :)
