Today’s Desi Blog of the Day is Saffron Trail by Nandita.
Here’s Nandita on herself –
Nandita is a medical doctor by qualification, a a nutritionist and cook by passion and a freelance writer by occupation. She writes for Men’s Health – India and Complete Wellbeing, among many others and she is one of the group bloggers at Daily Tiffin – a family and lifestyle blog. Nandita dreams of starting a little home-style restaurant someday soon and her husband has already reserved the position of CTO (Chief Tasting Officer).
Here’s Nandita on cooking –
Cooking is like meditation. When I stand in front of my wok, I just put in the ingredients instictively. My heart tells me what will taste good and what won’t. And I cook with my heart. When one does that, the results are usually good. I believe in healthy cooking – low on salt and oil, fresh ingredients and spices, simple and quick procedures that help us eat freshly cooked meals at any time of the day. I eat to live so that I may live to eat!
Here are three reasons why I love Nandita’s blog –
- Nandita blogs in a niche she is passionate about and the passion shows in her nutritious but mouth-watering recipes.
- Her blog is very well-designed, with an uncluttered home page, thoughtfully done About and Feedback pages, a focussed nice-specific blogroll, a section on most searched recipes and prominently displayed subscription and contact details.
- I love how she uses her Weekend Breakfast Blogging series – a fortnightly food blogging carnival – to spread link love and create a community.
Here are a few of Nandita’s favorite posts -
- Nandita shares the pleasures of her early morning routine inside and outside the kitchen.
- Nandita lovingly details the role of potatoes in Tamil Brahmin cooking.
- Nandita shares her super hit recipe for Parsi Dhansak.
My tip to Nandita: I think that your’s is an almost perfect blog, Nandita, except that it’s hosted on Blogger. It’s too late to shift platforms now, but do consider using Blogger’s custom domain name service – saffrontrail.net and saffrontrail.org are available as of now.
