1. About Me :
I was born and bought up in Palani, Dindugal
District, Tamil Nadu. I did my under graduation and post graduation degrees (in
Physics) also in Palani only. I also have a PGDITM from REC, Trichy. I worked
as a Higher-Secondary School Teacher and then later as a Lecturer in a College.
I have also completed my M.Phil after my marriage. After Marriage, I have lived
in different cities in India and also in Singapore.
2. About My Blog:
I have always been interested in Cooking.
My Husband suggested me to start a Food Blog to keep me engaged. I started blogging
in a simple way from July 2010. But the response from the fellow bloggers
inspired me to put lot of effort into my blog. But I had to take a two year
break due to becoming a mother. Now, I am back in action and have become more
active than ever.
The Theme of my blog is Re-imagining
Traditional Tamil Food in today's world. I also venture into North Indian and
Western Food recipes occasionally. My original inspiration and source for the
recipes are my mother and grandmother who are excellent cooks.
I am always on the lookout for
interesting recipes from TV, Newspaper and other food blogs.
When a Recipe interests me, I try it myself and if it really worked for me, I
post the recipe in my blog so that others also can try.
When I posted Kolam designs, it was unique
idea at that time and there was a very good interest from the audience. So I
occasionally post my Kolam designs as well.
3. Why Kurinjikathambam?
I wanted to give tamil title to suit my
blog theme. I selected "Kurinji" because it is a Rare flower
associated with Tamilnadu, and is abundant in Kodaikanal which is near Palani,
my native place. I added "Kathambam" to means assorted or mixture
- of Tamil, Indian and Western foods, kolams, painting, crafts and all my interests.
4. Food Photography
During the First Phase of my blog, I had
used only a Point-n-Shoot camera. I was inspired by my fellow bloggers to learn
Food Photography with DSLR cameras. I am now learning to shoot with a DSLR
camera and other Photography related techniques.
5. What Next?
My Food Blog has kindled a new interest in
me - to start a unique food joint / restaurant sometime in future. It will have
a unique collection of modern - traditional Tamil / Indian recipes. I am
looking forward to that future eagerly.
