Welcome!

Hey Everyone,

This blog is primarily for those girls (or guys) who want to cook for their family, or even for themselves, but don’t know where to start. I will try to provide easy step-by-step instructions on how to cook Indo-Pak, Mexican, Italian, and Arab dishes, including appetizers, main dishes and desserts. Feel free to comment with questions or suggestions.

My first bit of advice:

INVEST IN A PRESSURE COOKER!  Depending on the size of the pressure cooker, you can buy one from an Indian Store starting at $20.  A pressure cooker works by building up pressure from steam in the pot, which cooks food at a very high temperature. This method can cut cooking time by up to two-thirds!
