Chicken with lemon grass n mushrooms...yum

Sir George Bernard Shaw has rightly said,"There is no love sincerer than love of food"-and we both nod our head in total agreement to his said words. Food is something which has always made me fall in love over and over again. For some people they eat to live but we live to eat. Cooking has always been my passion since my childhood, though my mother has never gave me any kind of formal training in cooking.But i think I got it by default from my dad. Well, when you will read this blog, you will find that we personally prefer continental and chinese cuisines. I take lots of inspiration from the cooking of well-known chefs like Kylie Kong, Nigella, Bobby Chin. But whatever I cook, I always give my personal touch. I mould the recipes according to my personal taste. So all these recipes which you will read over here are purely originals. Indian food lovers don't be disheartened, I will write about tandoori food which has alraedy earned a world-wide name. My cooking mantra is (less oil+less calorie= fit and healthy). Diet conscious people can happily cook this recipe and eat paecefully without counting calories. So fasten your seat belt and we will take you to the world of great cuisines. Lets do some cooking. My first recipe is chicken with lemon grass and mushrooms.
