Cooking!

Well, I know its been a very long time since I wrote here; over two years!
I was depressed and was in a state of despair the last time posted on my blog. Well, all isn't lost. As it is for Satine, "the show must go on!" But of course, I'm not dying!
After nearly four years of treating myself to indulgences with Lush cosmetics, I have now discovered an equally mood-lifting, euphoric activity, or may I call it an indulgence- cooking!
It all started in my two dreadful months of bed-rest, when I was lying on the bed in the downstairs bedroom, constantly, with a broken back. I started to watch all kinds of TV shows- Desperate Housewives, True Blood, shows on bizarre shops around the world, and oh so gratefully, cooking shows! There are many- Highway on my Plate, Indian Food Made Easy, Jamie at Home, Nigella Bites, Kylie Kwong's my China and others. What really got me into loving food were Nigella's shows. She is one woman who knows food, loves food, and beautifies food. She has an arcane knowledge of food.
I was never an egg person; I liked eggs in cakes and stuff, but not in its cooked form like an omelet or scrambled eggs. After trying out Nigella's orange french toast, I died and went to egg heaven! Since then, I have been trying her many vegetarian recipes, all of which make me love food more, make food taste better, and make cooking a luxuriously indulgent activity! I love to cook now. Whenever I get the blues, I cook. I love cooking chocolat, various toasts, and combining colourful vegetables in some of the very delicious dressings to make salads. And, adding my own touch to the glorious recipes makes cooking all the more fun!
Now, I even love writing about food!
