Welcome to Preethi's Vegetable Plate

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to Preethi's Vegetable Plate.


“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own

Being a foodie, cooking has been my interest and passion for years (well, honestly after marriage!!). This blog is a space used for sharing my culinary experiments. I am a person with great interest in cooking and in learning new recipes/improving known recipes !!! This blog initiative is an attempt to share whatever knowledge I have about various recipes, cooking tips, kitchen techniques that I have learnt over the years after numerous cookery attempts (whether successful or failure) and make it available to others, in hope that it would benefit someone
somewhere at sometime.

Cooking is an Art, it is not rocket science. Learning this art well, needs little bit of perseverance, interest and tolerance. My every cookery trial, is a step forward in my venture to master this art.

Being a vegetarian, this blog has been started purely as a site for Indian vegetarian cuisine (I am sorry, Non-Vegetarians!!!). Both South-Indian and North-Indian dishes are shared in my blog with pictures on step-by-step procedure, to give my viewers a better visual understanding of how the recipe is prepared. There are various categories in this blog, and more categories will be added in the future. Majority of the recipes in this blog is "health consciously" prepared.

This blog is mainly an inspiration from those friends who always enjoyed my cooking and from hubby dear who has constantly over the years, encouraged and relished my food with words of praises (at least in front of me) for my every single culinary experiment, regardless of its outcome, with a big smile on his face, which made me believe that I am a good cook. 

I thank my mother, for being a big help in teaching me cooking over emails and phone calls, tirelessly. 

Also there are other family members (MIL, chitti, perimma etc), friends and internet from whom I have learnt many trivials and essentials of cooking. Their every single idea, tip, technique, shortcut from their experience, helped me improve my culinary skills steadfastly. So, my thank list is endless...

I encourage you to go over my site and if you find any recipe very useful and interesting, please try it out and post your comments on the site, as your comments will be encouraging to both me (to try more new recipes) and to other visitors (to try out my recipes).

To subscribe to my blog and get regular updates of my new recipe directly into your inbox, enter your email address and click Submit at the end of this blog page.

Also, to search for any recipe in my blog, you can use the search box found at the bottom of my blog page and find your interested recipes.

There is room for lots of improvement in whatever we do, this blog is no exception to that. If you have any comments to better my blog/recipes, you're ideas are most welcome. It will be certainly valued, reviewed and implemented.

Thanks for visiting my blog and welcome you to visit my blog anytime again.
 
Eat Healthy, Live Healthy !!!!!

Thanks & Regards,
Preethi Prem

      My thought to put the health benefits, is to make my viewers more health conscious and encourage them eating healthy food. Hope my mission works !!!

    Hi Aparna, Thanks a lot for your comments....I am thrilled to see that someone is actually going to try out my recipe sooo soon...you be the first one to try and post your feedback here aparna :-) would love to hear how the yam fry turned out.

    In this part of the world, health is easily getting spoilt (thanks to our lifestyle) and we really don't take food seriously, the health benefits part is an attempt to make ppl realise how valuable every vegetable is and to encourage them to go more vegetable way than junk food way...so let us start eating healthy and live healthy :-) Keep visiting this space for more updates in the future and keep trying...
