The domestic diva will not settle for anything less,
no shoddy shortcuts for her
she is almost maniacal in her perfection quest!
however tedious the classic recipe maybe
she will reference all old forgotten ones
to create a totally new entrèe!
gossamer like spun sugar decorations
just right acidic tones in the fruit tart
cooking, her true vocation!
her ability to nose around for new cuisines is journalistic
magic with a twist of her wrist
culinary experiments so cathartic!
Beutiful Punam.
“her ability to nose around for new cuisines is journalistic

You made me smile.

This reminds me so much of my Dadi and Nani! Even when I visit then today, I find my Dadi reading some magazine for new recipes, and my Nani making ever so delicious dhoklas and what not! I absolutely loved the poem Punam! I was smiling the entire time❤❤
