In my world, the kitchen is most important room in any home. It's the place where families and friends come together, not only to eat, but to share, laugh, cry, inspire, discuss, encourage and relate. As the name suggest, I'm going to attempt get the most out of my kitchen and all it has to offer through discussions on food, life and health as I embark on a new chapter of my life.

In the beginning...

I love food... A LOT. I love everything about it. I love the feelings associated with shopping for, preparing, cooking, sharing and eating food. I love the diversity of the flavors, the way they combine with each other to form something totally new. The possibilities are endless! But what I love the most is how it brings people together. There are few things in life that give me more pleasure than preparing a meal for my friends or family.

Through food, I have learned so much about the world around me, and I want to continue this trend as I start a post doctoral fellowship at the University of Cambridge. I've never written anything before... outside of technical scientific papers, so bare with me! I have to give props to Jodie, who has not only inspired me to start this blog, but has shown me the benefits of self expression. For now, I will say that many of my posts will be about food (well, once my 2.5 kg of spices arrive from Canada and I start cooking), and the associated life lessons I undoubtedly will learn along the way while cooking and sharing food with my new friends, and old :)
