Welcome to Desi Super Cooks!!

I love food... I love cooking...

Many of you share my passion. Many times i find a recipe online and try cooking from it. But as with anything else, not every time i get five stars...

Couple of days back i was searching for a Chocolate Crepe cake recipe and i found this awesome blog - Daring Bakers.

I realised there is so much potential in Community cooking. In olden days women met each other, cooked together and shared tips. Thanks to technology , we dont even have to step out of our homes :)

I have been experimenting with a lot of other cuisines. After trying out many things, i realised my strength lies in cooking Indian food. After eating spicy food for my entire life, i am really not able to appreciate the subtle flavours in many other cuisines. I will be able to cook well if i am able to appreciate the food.

So why don't you and I cook some awesome Indian food from this month?

So how does this blog work??

1. We will cook 1 Recipe every month.

2. Every Month we will have a Host. The host will decide the Recipe of the month. Host selection is going to be in the order in which i receive mails

3. There are three kinds of recipes the host can suggest

Mom's Recipe - I don't even have to say anything. Please please post it in the blog :)

Recipe Picked up from Internet - the host should point to the recipe

Picked up from a book - the host "should" not write the recipe on the blog. The host should just mention the book, the name and the section where the recipe can be found. However the host should ensure that the recipe can be found else where too.

4. The recipe is suggested by the host by 1st of every month. If you have any comments or insights, you can comment on the blog post.


5. On 27Th of every month, the host will submit a new post on the experience of cooking the item with some beautiful pictures.

6. All the people who have tried the item, can comment on the blog post that the host has posted. Also if you have a blog post which describes you experience in cooking this, please include it in the comments.

7. You can skip the recipe if you have some dietary restrictions
