A cook in the kitchen is never solitary. They stand among the legacy of past cooks. They also follow the guidance and recipes of contemporaries. Precision is key in baking. One must adhere strictly to the directions. Yet, in cooking, you are encouraged to rely on personal taste.
My name is Kamala Swaminathan, a passionate food aficionado from Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, now contentedly residing in Chennai. With nearly 60 years of cooking experience, I have an extensive collection of reliable recipes. These recipes include traditional South Indian vegetarian fare. They also feature some adapted versions. In 2006, I launched this blog to chronicle my culinary journey and to share my recipes with fellow enthusiasts.
I enjoy writing in my mother tongue, Tamil. Some of my recipes are available in Tamil at அடுப்பங்கரை. Furthermore, my blog Kolangal celebrates my love for Kolam (Rangoli). You can view my videos at my YouTube channel, kamalascornervideos.
