Welcome to Color and Spices...

A warm welcome to my world of cooking...


I am a mother, a wife and a daughter from a simple Bengali family. So mostly what I cook is "Bengali Cuisine". But the pleasure of eating has turned me into a self taught cook. My first inspiration is my mother, who used make perfectly round luchis for  our Sunday-special breakfast. For me, it was more than a magic to see that transformation. And not to forget my grand-mother's simple yet unforgettable dishes.

After marriage conjuring up something for your husband and getting a compliment is always a great pleasure for a self taught cook . And then comes the best reward when your child gives you a tight hug and says 'Ma, you are best the cook in the whole wide world.'

So, I simply cook to recreate the magic that overwhelmed me throughout my childhood and for the pleasure of my life and of course to satisfy my own taste buds...those are always hungry for something new..

Cooking is a never ending learning process. I'm still learning. Here I am to share all those recipes I have inherited and learnt, tried and tasted  all these years.  So happy cooking to you all.......
