Welcome

Hello all

This is my first post on the blog and I want to thank some of my fellow bloggers who are my greatest inspiration in starting this blog.Its been a long long time since I wanted to start a blog and I've been putting it off for quite some time now.Every time I read food blogs, I feel I should start writing one too,but at the very next second I feel I wont be able to pull it off.I am trying to overcome that feeling and I am going to start writing my first post.But before that let me thank the people who inspired me the most.

Shilpa of Aayis Recipes -Its from her that I learned to make authentic Konkani delicacies.Also she is my biggest inspiration for learning to bake cakes,thank you Shilpa.

Roopa of My Kitchen Treats-Hers is the first food blog I've ever read and she is the one who opened the doors of food blogs to me,thank you Roopa.

Srivalli of Cooking 4 all seasons-Reading her blog is like hearing your best friend talk to you!!I've tried so many of her recipes and all have turned out to be superb.Especially her Microwave dishes and North Indian ones.Mention Srivalli and how can I not mention her famous Paneer Butter Masala..??Thank you Srivalli.

Shn of Mishmash -Thank you Shn for your wonderful recipes and your story about the crocodile pool;-) which set me thinking -maybe I can start a blog too..?!

Injipennu of Injimanga -Thank you inji for your amazing recipes of Kerala food and your guess games!!

I once again thank you all for being my inspiration and I hope I can carry this blog forward a long long way!!

About Me

Who am I?

I am Divya,a foodie at heart and a passionate cook.I love cooking and trying out new dishes in my kitchen.The joy I get from reading recipes and figuring out whether it would work or not and finally trying it out gives me an immense high.Every recipe published on this blog is tried and tested/tasted.

A li'l Background!

I was a complete novice in kitchen and just like girls my age,started cooking on my own after getting married.Boy,I was completely taken aback and saluted my amma for cooking up a variety of food day in and day out for us monster kids.I struggled to cook and we had similar looking/tasting food for days together.But slowly and steadily,I picked up the art.

My Lifeline!

Ajay,my husband has been a completely supportive partner to me in this regard.He kept giving me little tips and tricks here and there and I found myself enjoying my time in the kitchen.Moreover,anyone can take cooking seriously when the food they cook gets appreciated.The joyful look on people's faces when they eat my food,makes it all worthwhile.

My all-time love!

Baking is something I learnt sometime back and there's just no stopping me now.I love to see the glee on my loved ones' face when I bake a cake for them:).I've always loved writing and my food blog combines two of my passions-cooking and writing:).

What do I blog on Easycooking?

I blog about day to day recipes.Mainly Konkani food,in that too,a mix of Kochi Konkani fare and South Kanara[Mangalore]fare.With a dash of Kerala recipes and a bit of North Indian food too.Given my love for baking,some of my successful baking recipes would also feature now and then.

My Camera


I started blogging with no clue about food photography or rather photography in general.The initial pics were taken using my phone(then) W810i.I started using Fuji Fine Pix Z10 and then got myself a Canon Ixus 105.I am planning to get myself an SLR,all in good time.


I love collecting Cookbooks and am a proud owner of several baking books as well as books of cooking from other genre.Many of the recipes published here are from these books[always given credit],some from my Vanitha recipe collection,some from tv cookery show recipes and some from other blogs[with link to the original blog added].Traditional recipes from Konkani cuisine are provided by my amma and m-i-l.


Hope you enjoy your stay here as much as I've loved putting it across to you:). :). Thank you for visiting my blog and hope you would come back again!!
