Food is indispensable to life, literally; and Cooking unfolds as a metaphor for life as Kitchen goes on weaving many threads of perspectives, lessons, and insights, which intertwine to reveal a tapestry of experiences and wisdom that effectively guides us in all spheres of life through right skills, right attitudes and right decision-making at every juncture that counts. Any keen observer would never fail to notice what a great citadel of learning our humble kitchen is, throwing up constantly many fundamental lessons in management, leadership, and right attitude towards life.
Learning lessons is important, and indeed, is the first step towards self-transformation. But actual transformation happens only when we start being what we learn. Managing kitchen on a regular basis for people you love and value including your own self, does not let you cheat – that is the catch! When you genuinely care for people, your sense of responsibility automatically expands; you apply what you learn and in time, those learnings get ingrained into your system deeply as your auto-mode behavioral patterns, your second nature.
Kitchen offers repeated opportunities to be, not just to appear to be!

An alumnus of Delhi School of Economics, she served in a premier Public Sector bank in India for 2 & ½ decades, gaining rich and diverse experience in human relations and leadership that she treasures. A person of diverse interests, she quit her job much in advance as her beckoning got louder to follow her other passions in life. As a working mother-cum-homemaker, she notices umpteen parallels between kitchen management and management anywhere else in terms of situational dynamics and the skills, perspective and attitude required to deal with them effectively. This book is an attempt by her to collate and share some such valuable insights and lessons from kitchen, which can be applied successfully in relevant areas.
