Food has been my Achilles heel that has revealed itself everywhere – whether it’s India or America. So, you can well understand my predicament when during my first visit to America at the time when life was full of “romance and poetry”, I encountered the American food – pepper-less, curry-less and ghee-less and to top it all – boiled, in most cases. I missed my dear Punjabi food and under the circumstances took it upon myself as a mission to give the Americans a taste of the authentic Punjabi food.
