Food Influences across Cultures : Menu Design : First Blog

Food is the basic necessity. It's the one thing everyone needs, wants or atleast thinks about atleast once a day. You live to eat or eat to live, whatever you may be your attitude, you would still enjoy a bite.
In my lifetime, I have lived in two great countries.
Born in India, a country that absolutely loves her food. There is such an extensive menu that the country has to offer that you could spend years just going around and having it all! If you are interested in expanding your culinary skills then you could spend a lifetime and still not learn it all..let alone master it!
As a professional I moved to the UK, the land of opportunities and my gateway to Europe. Having spent almost a decade here, this country is Home now :). To be honest, there is not a lot on the menu to offer but the country embraces all food that is good. So , I have been able to have the most authentic recipes from around the world.
There are some dishes that distinctly remind me of India , some not so much! But there are some elements that are very similar, in preparation, concept or simply looks.
Ultimately, everything is tied together..somewhere..somehow.
This is just my naive attempt to pen down my observations. No expert comments, just a simple foodie expressing her love for food and people ! :)

The Very First Blog!! Welcome :)
