Hello, Namaste!

I’m Geetha, an Indian living in the UK. I’m a cook, photographer, videographer, editor and voice behind the Flavours Treat.

A bit about ME

I’m a part-time food blogger and a full-time mother to two adorable kids. I am a vegetarian by choice and a food enthusiast who enjoys cooking for my family.

I was born and grew up in Hosapete, a city in the southern Indian state Karnataka,  located between the banks of Tungabhadra river and a world heritage site Hampi, well known for remnants of its glorious past during an era of the Vijayanagara empire

My parents relocated to Hosapete from Rayalaseema area of the south Indian state of Andhra. As a child, I loved touring Andhra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, and exploring their traditions, cultures, and feasting their food. Since both of my parents are originally from Andhra, my mother's cooking style and flavours tend to be typical Andhra cuisine. I have adapted most of the trraditional south Indian dishes from my mother and these recipes on the blog reflects her culinary techniques.

During my teenage years, I started my kitchen tasks with small jobs such as chopping vegetables. Slowly, I began my culinary adventure by attempting to make coffee and cooking rice. Eventually, I expanded my cooking skills with my then most favourite speciality dishes - Indo Chinese gobi manchurian, vegetable fried rice, chaats, palak paneer and chana masala. Although my expertise and knowledge in the kitchen were limited to just a few dishes,  I would take great care to make sure it was cooked perfectly every time.

I didn't start making staple food such as chapati, dal, and simple curries until I got married and moved to the UK.

After we ventured into the food business, I had the chance to explore and develop a deeper understanding of how spices impact the flavour and taste of food.

With the guidance of experienced chefs, I've greatly enhanced my cooking skills and gained more confidence in using kitchen shortcuts. I've adopted a few simple techniques and tactics to make my life easier!

Final Thoughts…..

"Cooking is the art of adjustment” – Jacques Pepin

I wholeheartedly believe this statement. One thing I have learnt from my cooking experience is to understand how to balance flavours. For any cook, novice or experienced, it is necessary to adjust the ingredients used that certainly bring out the right flavour to suit your taste buds and not just blindly follow the recipe.

I suggest you treat the recipe as a guide and keep experimenting with ingredients, add a dash of that and a pinch of this until you are happy with the taste, aroma and flavours. The real satisfaction is in creating something that you and your loved ones enjoy.

What will you not find on Flavours Treat?

I DON'T use additives, artificial colours, artificial flavour enhancers, preservatives or emulsifiers. Instead, I emphasise using natural food colouring and flavouring agents. You will not find any recipes that contain fake meat or eggs.
