Many people say that cooking is like science where measurements, temperature, quality of ingredients, availability of ingredients and procedure are important to achieve what is called “perfect dish”. Being a scientist and a passionate cook, I could vouch how important some of these parameters are for cooking, but varying the ingredients and playing a little bit with the recipe can sometimes do wonders to your dish. Innovation is not easy and comes with a price, but it surely teaches us what works and what does not, just like your lab experiments do.

I love to cook and I am a vegetarian. As a working woman, however, I find it difficult to hold on to the passion, since grocery shopping is usually done once a week meaning a thorough planning of meals.
