People always comment about my clothes. They don't think a fashionable woman can love food and be knowledgeable and actually cook.

The great thing about living today is that there is this thing called the Interweb, and you can just look up anything.

Even the fried chicken is great cold.

From the simple stringing together of lemon garlands for the goddess Durga, to dividing the prasadam or blessed foods for the children first, I came to associate food not only with feminity, but also with purity and divinity.

One thing that happens when you're pregnant is that as your stomach starts to stretch. It itches! So I have to keep my belly really lubricated. Every morning, there's a buttering ceremony after I get out of the shower. It's really like basting a turkey with body butter.

I never Tweet about my daughter. Never. I just want to be respectful of her privacy. My job as a mom is to know when to open my mouth and when not to.

I am as omnivorous as it's possible to be. I always say there's nothing I won't eat and nothing I won't wear.
