Hi there!

My name is Pinki, and Pixels and Plates is me!

In order to give you a warm welcome into Pixels and Plates, I tried, like really hard, to piece together words that would sum up my passion for cooking and the inspiration behind this blog. Nonetheless, it was quite difficult, for someone as wordy as me, to sum anything up!

But here goes….

What does cooking mean to me? Well, the act of cooking & eating are two basic principles we execute to survive. But let’s go beyond the necessity of cooking & eating. For me, food and mood, go hand in hand.  When I’m happy, I treat myself to food. When I’m sad, I drown my sorrows in food. When I’m angry, I simmer down with food. When I’m bored, I fabricate a thirst for food. You catch my drift: food is life (intentional or unintentional).

More so than consuming food, it is cooking which provides an outlet for me to unwind and ease anxieties. Often times, I find myself fixated on reaching a certain destination, that I forget to stop and smell the roses. Simply put, when life comes to a full boil, cooking is a way for me to reduce the heat to low. It enables me to concentrate on one task at hand, which is, whipping up a delicious meal!

Pixels and Plates blog is about being present in the moment and allowing your creative energies to flow. I love to create, test and refine recipes that whisk together a fusion of flavors. Recipes that find the balance between indulgence and healthy. Recipes that fit the nooks and crannies of the hustle and bustle of our lives. My mission is to inspire you to get into the kitchen and stir up your own masterpiece. Remember to savor the moment and capture the bite!

Phew! That was a mouthful.

I hope you enjoyed your stay, and please do come again!
