So for those of you who know me you know I have many passions….travel, shoes, sports, food etc. So after being too scared to try or making excuses or having 270000000 ideas before I decided what to do…I just went ahead and FINALLY did it!
I Love food. Cooking is my happy place, my meditation, my teacher and my soul.
My motto is – I LIVE TO EAT!
If you know me then you know that I would rather skip a meal than eat a tasteless dish. I grew up with flavours. So much so that I literally perspire spices (no literally my mom Prem Puri always decides to cook 4 minutes before I’m about to leave the house and I smell like a walking garlic and onion sauté). I am a walking delicious meal on most days! 😉
I come from a background of (self made) chefs/cooks and I grew up with my parents having a restaurant. I have been blessed with the exposure to so many different ethnic cuisines through my travels, cousin in-laws, friends and of course the city I was born in – Toronto, Canada.
I want to share this with everyone while I continue on my own journey to keep learning about the art of food.
I’m no master chef, not even close. I’m just your everyday girl who wants to cook 5 meals in a day sometimes just for fun. And I drop things…and burn things (mostly myself)…and break things and sometimes (just sometimes) make things that are just….unpalatable (facts)!
So if you like to cook, nothing #gordonramsay style, but just good ol’ delicious, healthy, hearty and food made with LOVE (secret ingredient revealed) then follow me on instagram @rkwhatscooking and on FB page Rita’s Kitchen – What’s Cooking.
I love feedback because life is still always about growth and learning and BETTER FOOD!!!
Hope to see you all soon!
