I'm a software engineer by profession, but food and cooking have been my passions since childhood. What started as helping my mom around the kitchen led to a strong interest in combining flavors and creating good food. I've always loved playing a perfect hostess, and the passion grew stronger after marrying a person who can almost be called a "food critic", and after getting exposed to Food Network chefs and their shows! I love experimenting with different ingredients and cuisines, and have recently started documenting my work on my Food Blog called Fun and Food (http://funnfud.blogspot.com). An Indian by birth, I am currently living with my husband in the San Francisco Bay Area. I love food, but at the same time I try maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle. When I'm not cooking, you may find me listening to music, engaged in adventure sports, travelling with my hubby and family, reading fiction, writing poems, or spending quality time with my family and friends!
