The story behind the chiffon cake is one of friendship and a hell lot of perseverance. In short, I promised my friend I'll bake her a pandan chiffon cake, because it was one of the few food that she eats, on the rare times that she does eat. So I tried a grand total of 5 times, before finally succeeding into a reasonably acceptable one. All in one sitting.
That is how I can now make a decent tasty chiffon cake 2 years on. As Thomas Edison puts it,
"I've not failed, I've succeeded in finding out 100 different ways in which it will not work."
something very exciting might be happening. i might be given a chance to bake for the old folks at the SWAMI home. if that does happen, i think i finally found a purpose. it would make me veryveryvery happy...

Incredible posts, to be honest, when i clicked on this link i thought it was going to be just another 'food blog' done by a person who wants to cook but only understands cooking on the most basic level and not the feelings,emotions and exertions that go into cooking. i am sorely impressed by the insight gained in cooking for you. Cooking is not just following a recipe, its all in the planing and thinking, the buying of ingredients, love for the person or people the food is going to and finally execution.Every dish created,like you said has a story and a meaning.
Your blog is an inspiration for the common cook and even for a person like me who cooks professionally. i certainly hope that the world of food will continue to inspire and teach you many things. A truly inspirational blog. You can find me at my email address.Hope to talk to you personally soon.
