I have always wanted to explore Thai and Mexican cuisine. Pastas and pizzas have become as common as idlis and dosas in our house, but I haven’t tried anything which is even remotely Thai and just the empanadas, quesadilla and a black bean/corn salad in the Mexican food fare.

The aroma that floated in the room was very appetizing making me literally drool but what ended up on my plate was not as good as I had expected. Also I kept wondering if everything on the plate was vegetarian, even after confirming with the waiter a couple of times. What if the curry paste had fish or oyester sauce, what if the soup had chicken stock? That’s when I decided that I’m never going to step in a Thai restaurant again, ever!

About two months back I borrowed the book Family vegetarian Cooking by Good Housekeeping, from the library. The book is filled with amazing vegetarian recipes. I would say that the soups, stews and chillis section alone is worth the price of the entire book. I’m trying one recipe after the other from that book and so keep renewing it every 3 weeks. Thanks goodness we have the online renewal facility! Actually I have exhausted the maximum number of renewals and have to return the book pretty soon. I think I have to borrow it once again to try the rest of the recipes. So do borrow the book when you get a chance.
