Well…am not here to lecture about the benefits of  ‘Raw Food-ism’  or anything. As you might have already guessed, I love cooking.   At the same time, there is also another part of me, which craves ‘raw food’. Besides the fact it tastes good, it has an added bonus of saving me from slaving around!!

And, did I ever mention it to you all…I hate fixing breakfast! I never-ever made a decent breakfast for myself, or let alone others. When I was a student, my friends used to give me a weird look, whenever I presented carrots and sliced avocados to them. Now, people who visit me are all in plain shock as well! They simply didn’t expect these dry fruits, orange wedges and smoothies from me.   Probably because of my misleading food blog! Interestingly, most of them had their own imagination of an elaborate breakfast. And they thought, early in the morning…I would entertain them with  idly-vada-sambar; dosa-chutney-filter coffee; poori-masala; and much more.   Ooops, I am not running a mess, dearies. I just happen to love cooking and cook a detailed menu in a much more leisurely occasion, during holidays or gatherings.

Come on, who wants to toil in the kitchen during the early hours…especially when we are in the heights of creativity . I am a morning person, a dream chaser and work for my passion. And, there is no way that am gonna to sacrifice those lovely ‘me-hours’ in doing a mean job! So, raw food it is! Oh yeah, if you wanna join me for breakfast, better be prepared, folks.
