Hi,

Welcome to Jagruti's Cooking Odyssey, (JCO) As you have probably guessed, my name is Jagruti and I love cooking!

I began taking an interest in food as a young girl, watching my mother. I used to fetch ingredients for my mother whilst she was cooking.
I marvelled at the way she would never measure out her ingredients, just added them as she saw fit and the end result was always consistent and perfect!
During lunchtimes at school, I revelled at the snacks that my school friends used to bring with them. Lunch boxes packed with all sorts of home made delights that their mothers had made for them.
Since I developed a fascination with home cooking and that is something that I brought with me when I moved to the UK. I was then lucky to learn of a different Indian cuisine through my in laws as my mother-in-law had her own style.

In parallel, my daughter, Hayley, from a young age always enjoyed watching me cook. It gives me the joy to see that she has developed an interest just as deeply of ingredients and cooking.

With all of this enthusiasm for food, I was eager to share the recipes that I had learnt over the years with the wider web, and form a diary of my gastronomic journey. And thus, as of 2010, JCO was born. Since I and Hayley have posted many authentic Indian recipes influenced from my childhood alongside dishes from all around the world.

I hope that by reading the blog, you are also inspired to get into the kitchen and enjoy creating wonderful meals.

If you have a specific question about recipes that I have posted or for any other comments, inquiries, feedback or questions please contact me via email.
