I enjoy cooking a lot, but if I get a receipe I always tweak it according to my understanding :) The best experiments I have done are with eggs. Simple, fast and always tasty.

Damn I'm disappointed! :P Being a gourmand who's now very pressed for time, let me thank you for bringing this resource to my attention. PS: Confession time; For more than a decade I kept close to my heart this glossy cookbook made by some English lady. The visuals were amazing and the dishes looked and sounded so exotic.... I haven't drooled that much even when I got my first copy of D.B.Nair! The names of the dishes mentioned have been engraved in my mind and I've checked out hundreds of restaurants of four nations to sample them all. Well, talk about books influencing one's life.... ;) When I read the title “Just one Pot” the first time I thought it was about some mind expanding experiences with Marijuana…… Damn I’m disappointed! :P

First you have to befriend them and only then you can ask them to teach you. So it means visiting the same restaurants or shop many times :-) Getting the recipes is easier, as most people will give it to if you ask nicely.

Can relate to a lot of your cooking chores....But studying the dishes from chefs, the moment you start liking them is special! :) Savoring the dishes while reading about them, and getting physically enhanced with them made a nice concept.

Seems yummy ! Being a cancerian, I love cooking and food. I was in Thailand for the past 4 days and the smell of food at their road-side stalls was very tempting but due to language problems I could not muster enough courage to order a veg meal. In any case Thailand is not very veg friendly, though they eat healthy. Mainly sea food, chicken, duck etc., They also eat a lot of fruits which I relished on all 4 days. Thanks for your recipes !
