Not many people have this gift which makes them special and I have seen only a few of these kind. I am talking about cooks, not the ones in the restaurant but people who cook food in general in our homes.
I like cooking and I cook a lot; my curries, soup , fries etc are good and I like them but I cannot call them tasty. There is this thing which differentiates a good food and a tasty food and that is always missing from my cooking.
When my wife cooks something, I can see that additional touch, that touch of glory and that unique gift where only few people have. I can see that she is among those few who are truly gifted. Her each dish is a treat to my palate.
The same is true with my mother-in-law's fish curry; she has this amazing ability to make wonderful fish curries.
I can recall how my taste buds were dancing with joy when I used to have "tomato daal" prepared by my grand mother, tomato/brinjal (eggplant) pickle (manual preparation not with a grinder) , my mother's spinach/green leaf daal.
These people are exceptional cooks in their own way and my wife of course stands apart due to her innate ability in making every dish special!
A big bow to these wonderful women, I am indeed one of those few fortunate beings!!!!!
