About me

Hi dear readers,

I am Usha pakka and I blog at foodiespalate.blogspot.com .I am a very happy stay at home mom, who enjoys cooking and feeding the family with fresh food.I will be sharing my recipes and cooking experiences ,which I come across in this gastronomic journey.
Cooking and experimenting on food never interested me  until I met my foodie hubby,who has also been a guinea pig of my disastrous cooking many a times.With his encouragement and critics I have a collection of my recipes here , some of my own and some from the blogs I follow.
 My Granny is a very good cook and she keeps experimenting on food. She loves cooking and I must say she is my big inspiration. Being from an  orthodox brahmin family, my granny never eats out, and being sattvic never uses onion and garlic in her cooking. That made her to experiment in her own kitchen with the available ingredients and cook the same dish every time in a different way. She is a very contented lady and she is my idol.
I am a mother of two naughty girls, Meghna and Sanjna, who are now old enough to comment and relish the food I prepare. They have their food choices as well. From basic daily cooking to baking cakes,breads and cookies they enjoy everything.
Baking is my new venture in cooking and I feel it is a  stress buster. This blog will also have recipes of my baked goodies.
