About Me

Hello readers, I am Deepika Ostwal belonging to the beautiful city - Bangalore.
Bangalore which is also known for its street food.You would find almost every street to offer something different & unique from the other. I've always taken keen interest in food & whenever i get to travel, i'd like to try ''something different'' !! Well i have finally taken out some time for something i like doing - Cooking/Baking!!
This blog is dedicated to two important people- My Mother & Sister..Mum who has had her hand behind me taking interest in different culinary cuisines & sister who always appreciates my hard work & persuaded me to start my blog so that i show this world another of my talents ;)
The main intention behind this blog is for any person who enjoys food can just be able to surf through my recipes & cook very simple yet delicious food with the ingredients which are easily available in the markets or in your pantry!
Empty vessels make noise is my playground where I showcase my passion for food and baking. Most of the recipes here are something that I learnt from my Ma, my first teacher. There are recipes that are inspired from cookbooks, websites/blogs, and cooking shows.
Since I am a vegetarian, I strongly feel that there is so much more that one can learn & perform with leaves & veges...There are many recipes catalogued to suit busy working schedules and also beginner and bachelor friendly. You will find a collection of everyday meals, some with fancy ingredients, a variety of cuisines, as i love trying my hand at what i previous would eat at a restaurant..Though my all time favourite is Italian food..I love the combination of mild favours & fresh herbs!!
One thing I have learnt from years of kitchen adventure is to understand how to balance and harmonize flavours. For any cook, amateur or experienced, it is important to make adjustments in the quantity of ingredients used to bring out the right flavour to suit your taste buds rather than blindly following the recipes. And to believe that you are a good cook one must taste their art at every stage..so one can understand what's there & what's missing & adjust the flavors. Follow your instinct and palate, as it is them that tell you as what you like in a particular dish.
