Donning the hat of an actor, as well as a chef, is not a very common sight. What brought this shift? What is your personal favourite?

Well, donning the hat of an actor and a chef is not only an uncommon sight but a tough task too and that’s probably I decided to do one and do it properly. I chose to be a chef as my son was growing up to be a fussy eater like most children and I wanted to deal with this situation in an unconventional manner. Since my focus is on healthy cooking which does not look more like food that appeals to kids, read (“junk” )the job gets a little tougher for me as it requires a lot of research to gain knowledge about nutrition, presentation ideas, etc. Since I’m a bit of a perfectionist, I decided to give it my all to my chosen profession, “Chef Mom” as I like to call it, and needless to say this is my favorite!
