Helllooooo. I'm Rona; the cook, photographer and author of this little food blog. I'm so glad you stopped by.
I've been in love with cooking for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I loved helping mum in the kitchen. As I very clearly recall, my favorite jobs in the kitchen were beating butter for a cake, frying onions, stirring the curry and being a Mangalorean; grating coconut. Yeah, it's true, we use a lot of coconut in our kitchens. I was 8 when my mum let me first bake a cake, all solo, and it was a sponge cake recipe that I had watched mum bake often. After all these years, and a whole lot of baking, it's the humble sponge cake that I really love to bake and often crave.
While growing up I only wanted to try the most laborious recipe in the book. Today, as a mother of 2 littles, I know easy does it. Most recipes you will find on this blog are simple, quick and hearty. Although I'm very partial towards baking , you will find recipes of every kind here.
I love making memories around food. Be it collecting recipes from aunts, or trying my grandmother's recipes or recreating my mum's best dishes. Cooking, for me, has always been about making memories. Even the simplest salad I toss up, reminds me of something special. It often is the littlest things in the kitchen that mean happy.
I also am a cookbook addict. I have 3 whole shelves in my kitchen dedicated to them and I'm sure enough, running out of space. You'll see some of my favorites in My Kitchen Bookshelf page, although that page does need some updating. I've collected over 30 new books since and I'm quite sure, I'll have many more by the time I get to updating that page.
I live in Bangalore, India, with my husband, our two boys and our dog, who is unarguably the biggest baby and foodie in the house. Hope you enjoy the blog and do remember to follow me on Instagram at chefondutyblog and on Facebook at For Goodness Bake.
Here's to food, stories and memories. Cheers!!!!!
