I, me, myself…

I’m a mother of 2 yr old (phew! big task), home-maker (which includes being a cook, PA, nurse, packer & mover, errand boy, etc – mind you all unpaid), buyer, merchandiser, friend, lover and when time permits Confusion Cook.

I enjoy confusing recipes (which I love to eat & even more love to reproduce at home) to make them eggless & purely vegetarian. When I google for an eggless recipe, thousands of links show up but most of them follow vegan diets & are full of Soy Products. Soy is totally no-no for me as I’ve a family history of thyroid & I want to avoid myself being exposed to the risk (you see, prevention is better than cure). :D Peanuts also fall into the same category. Being Vegan is out for me. Also to mention I’m allergic to yeast & can’t stand garlic. And, and I don’t follow any recipe to the T, even the regular ones. I am sure you would now understand why I call myself Confusion Cook.

This blog is an effort to put together recipes passed within the family, introduced by friends, googled on net and most importantly learnt & unlearned in Home Science Classes. Just to mention I’ve studied Food, Basics of Food Preparation, Nutrition & Dietetics as part of B.Sc. (H.Sc.) for 3 yrs, so I guess I must have retained something in the entire learning & unlearning process.

Let the Confusion begin…

    wow Deepali you had a nice subject in your B. Sc…my mom also had the same subject :) ….by any chance are you from West Bengal??

      no Khushi I’m not from West Bengal. I’m from Meerut in UP. But lot of people tell me that I look like a Bengali & my name is also quite common in Bengal I believe. I’m sure your mom would be a great cook, we are taught to be exact cooks but sadly I didn’t pay much attention during B.Sc.

    hi deepali,

    nice blog! so generous of u to share the recipes from the worksop that u attended, have to yet come across a food blogger who shares recipes from the workshops that dey attend..and even i cant follow the recipe to the T , am a confused cook too!!

    also came across the mention of abstaining from soy in ur profile bcoz of thyroid, my doctor told me to have soy milk or soy in any form everyday!!

    keep up the good work!!

      Hi Estelle,

      Thank you! I’ve shared recipes with my own adaptation. I feel that the one recipe cannot taste same from different hands, i.e. I cannot reproduce the same taste or look, even if I follow to the T, so what is the harm in sharing. The more people learn better according to me.

      Thanks for dropping by :)
