My Journey to the Passion called food, will never be complete without the first dish I learnt to make at Catering school, ooops…my blog has been hijacked by my 10-year-old son Evann (he has now decided that he will write the next blog for me…
My Dad has a sweet tooth, he loves his Indian sweets but he just loves carrot halwa (Gajjar Ka Halwa in Hindi). It had begun from when he was in catering college; he adores this dish because it was the first dessert he ever made. He also loves eating sweet’s. This dish will stay in his heart forever, as it is the most special dish for him. My father still has this dish stuck in his mind and he can never stop talking about how he made it the first time, it so fresh in his memory. He has made this dish before for us, and it had an amazing taste. He is the best cook at home and makes the best food for my family and me. He is the best father to have and we all love him dearly and always will, he gives me everything I need. He is the best dad ever! My name is Evann Noel Sasikumar and I’m the son of this amazing father, Amal Sasikumar. I will now be writing these blogs for my dad. I am ten years old and I’m in grade 5 my school’s name is Corpus Christi, it is a catholic primary school and is in New Malden, my birthday is on the 25th of December (Christmas day). I stay in a small house with my parents and my siblings; both my parents give my siblings and me a good upbringing. Every day we’re learning something new in the world because of my fantastic parents.
