The
recipes
shown in my webiste are
prepared from commonly available vegetables, pulses, cereals, spices.
These recipes are cooked in my ordinary kitchen.
My
intention is to
wean away people from Restaurants and Packaged Foods, while encouraging
them to prepare "Home made
Food". Through lucid explanation of culinary tips I want to make
cooking, a simple fun. Cooking at home and feeding the family members
with these tasty dishes brings in healthy life-style. Families that Eats
together and Prays together Stays together.
In each recipe, I discuss the proportions of all ingredients (except salt which is to be added as per individual's choice). If these ingredients are put in the suggested proportions and all the steps are followed, as shown in the video, you should surely succeed in replicating the dish which I prepared in my kitchen. And... this serves my objective!!!
I am a Vegetarian, with an exception in using egg for some cakes (which I hope to replace gradually). I don't do any other non-vegetarian recipes.
My video narration
is in Telugu while
the recipe text is in English. By reading the text and watching my
video, Non-Telugus would also be able to follow the recipe. In short,
language in the videos shouldn't be a barrier to understand what I want
to convey through my videos. For more details you may read "Why My Videos are in Telugu?"
It would
be
nice if you BLOG your outcomes on the recipes you attempted. If you
have succeeded,
let others know - so that they can also confidently try that recipe. If
you failed, then also let the world know, so that others would take the
requisite precautions before attempting the new dish. Your blogging
gives me an opportunity to identify the pit falls, if any, and suggest
corrective measures. I encourage blogging
and would respond faster to the
queries raised there. I have decided not to respond to queries on
Youtube, because often these queries are raised without the viewers
going through the text of the recipe given on the website.
Mine is a one woman show where I am the Chef, Director, Photographer, Playback, Sound Mixer, Editor and what not? I have adopted photo shoot mode to host my recipes. In this method, I am literally able to carry the camera with my left hand, into the frying pan, while the right hand is busy cooking. I am able to clearly show the action in the frying pan for every step. It would be difficult to hold a movie camera all through with one hand and it cannot go as close to the frying pan as a still camera does (because the water vapor blinds the lenses). Through this photo shoot method, I also believe that my viewers attention would remain focused on the recipe only and its ingredients and chemistry action in the frying pan. It doesn't get distracted to what I wear, how I look, what interior my kitchen has etc. Thus, I feel photo-shoot-style is more functional compared to a movie mode.
I
belong to an Indian economic middle-class. My Kitchen, Utensils and
Kitchen Aids also represent the same. The gadgets are functionally oriented
rather than fashionable. Some of them are older to our wedding date!!! Their displays would be average. Emphasis
of my video would be more on the recipe content, exact measurements of
ingredients , process involved etc. My videos lack the lustre of costly cut-glass and
ceramic ware under arc-lamps.
