Welcome to Kitchen 69 -a joint venture between my husband
and I. We are both foodies, we love to eat and thankfully I love cooking
and growing produce in my suburban veggie patch. I have a few staples but will
try my hand at growing or for that matter cooking anything. And my husband is a
video junkie - so here we are, we decided to collaborate to bring
together our interests and passion, and want to share them with anyone who is
interested in food.
You may be wondering why the name Kitchen 69? The numbers
are inspired by the ancient Chinese symbol for the yin and yang. For us it
represents various things, the coming together of us, our cultures (he is
Armenian and I am Indian), the old and the new and the fusion of different
cooking styles and cuisines etc. There is also the connotation of naughtiness
that goes with these numbers, and it is always good to see the lighter side of
life - even in the kitchen or garden.
My aim for this blog is to share my recipes, food videos
and photos of my kitchen garden to highlight how easy cooking your own meals
and growing your own produce can be. I am not saying that there is no effort
involved. Like everything in life that is of any value, cooking and growing
produce requires skill and effort, but is extremely rewarding. Also, you
don’t have to do everything at once, start slow with a couple of things and
build your repertoire. And the satisfaction you will receive form harvesting
your own chilies, herbs or eggplants or cooking for your loved ones and friends
is worth every minute spent weeding or slaving away over a curry on a hot day.
