Food is travel

-
When I go on a vacation to places with varied cultural backgrounds and ethnicity, I can’t help but rate my vacation based on only ONE prime factor - FOOD.
Travel and food almost always go together! 

Recreating the magic from kitchens across the world right from my cozy kitchen is quite a way to explore the different cultures. 

I bought myself a beautiful new induction cooktop (and a clad wok omg) for Christmas. Now, I’m vacationing in my kitchen, traveling with family to some of the cool/warm places in the world: no security checks or airline delays or pricy tickets or stomach bugs or screaming kid or apprehensive germaphobic mom.

Merry Christmas to all.

(Here's a snapshot of one of the Christmas Eve meals: A Vietnamese-ish summer roll with peanut-spicy sauce, Vegan Pad Thai and a Vegan Fruit cake..everything got sold out in no time :))

Movie : Thirupaachi Song: Kannum kannum dhaan Originally sung by Harish Raghavendra, Uma Ramanan Now rendered by Anand (Welcome Anand!) & Aparna Kind of a telepresence recording experience to produce a "blend of two voices" .. Here is the audio: If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element Yet another new experience - Tried to play with the Video of this song to replace the original audio with our version of the song.
