What cooks wrote back

Entry 01

The garam masala smells like my grandmother's kitchen. I use half of what I used to and the dal tastes fuller.
Anjali MenonLedger Garam Masala · Thrissur

Entry 02

Ordered the pepper cracked on a Monday and the tin said it was ground on Tuesday. You can tell the moment you open it.
Rohan KulkarniTellicherry Black Pepper · Pune

Entry 03

Proper saffron, deep red with no yellow bits. Ten threads coloured a whole pot of kheer.
