My mom is an excellent cook and whatever little I have learnt today, I owe it to her. Her amazing food has encouraged me to develop a passion for cooking. Like her, I too love experimenting and cooking up new dishes and enjoy cooking for family and friends. Food and cooking are my passion and to tell you the truth, I find cooking extremely relaxing.

Here is one simple recipe mom taught me a few days back. This fish kebab or cutlets are easy to prepare and make a lovely evening snack or starters for dinner.
