New post in Neighbourhood Recipes ------------------
SWAGATHAM to Gayatri Vantillu. I am hosting Video Recipes which I normally prepare in my "VANTILLU" (Kitchen). I use both Gas Stove & Micro-wave Oven. You would also find me using standard measuring cups and a small weighing scale for Precision Cooking. (See Kitchen Aids)
In each recipe, I discuss the proportions of all the ingredients (except salt which is to be added as per individual's choice). If all the ingredients are put in the suggested proportions and the steps are followed, as shown in the video, you should surely succeed in replicating the dish which I prepared in my kitchen. This serves my objective!!!
I am a Vegetarian, with an exception, I use egg in some Cakes. I don't do non-vegetarian recipes.
The recipes shown are prepared from commonly available vegetables, pulses, cereals etc. in my ordinary kitchen. My intention is to wean away people from Restaurants and Packaged Foods. Through lucid explanation of culinary tips I want to make cooking, a simple fun so as to encourage people to cook at home, delicious dishes for a healthy life.
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.
It would be nice if you BLOG on the outcomes. If you have succeeded, let others know - so that they can confidently try that recipe. If you failed, then also let the world know, so that they would take the requisite precautions before attempting the new dish. Through this process you would be giving me an opportunity to identify the pit falls, if any, and enable me to suggest corrective measures.
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. It would be difficult to hold a movie camera all along with one hand and it cannot go as close to the frying pan as a still camera does, because the water vapour blinds the lenses. Through this photo shoot method I also believe that my viewers attention is focused on the recipe and its ingredients. 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 movie mode.
I belong to an Indian economic middle-class. My Kitchen, Utensils and Kitchen Aids represent the same. The gadgets are more functionally oriented rather than fashionable. Their displays would be average. The emphasis of my video would be more on the recipe content, exact measurements of ingredients , process etc. My videos lack the lustre of arc-lamps, costly glass and ceramic ware.
