My passions include baking, cooking, traveling, watching hours of Food Network, and exploring the various facets of New York City. Living close to NYC allows me to enjoy a variety of cuisines and learn about different cultures.
Being of Indian origin and born in Nigeria, I moved to the United States at a young age where I learned to appreciate all cultures. In particular, I have a very strong affinity towards Latin and Italian cultures, whereas my favorite cuisine happens to be Mexican food. Yes, my identity is confusing at times, even to myself.
After being 20 pounds overweight and successfully having lost all of it, I am now at my feel great weight of 107-112 pounds at 5'2". Eating healthy isn't always easy, however my objective is to make reduced fat and delicious food/desserts without compromising taste and texture... it is possible with the right tricks!
What do I do for a living? Well, I USED to work for Corporate America managing Financial Applications. I ditched my day job a few months ago hoping to do some soul searching and searching for a better job, one that will be more rewarding and ultimately more satisfying.
By starting this blog, I now consider myself a wannabe chef, a pretty good storyteller, and a dedicated photographer... I know, this is all wishful thinking. To top it all off, I got married a year two years ago, so I am a wife, too.
In addition to creating reduced fat recipes, I love reviewing healthy food products and restaurants. So yes, every so often I will go out and indulge in a delicious, unhealthy meal, and review it. Blogging is such a great outlet for me to share my thoughts, ideas, and recipes with the world.
Oh, and my nickname is, "Honey", hence, "Honey, What's Cooking?" For more information on this, here is the story!
Hope you enjoy this blog and join me on a soul searching journey through food, travel, and my life experiences.

Hi there, just wanted to stop by and tell you that I like the new layout.
just found your blog-adorable and i can't wait to read more- i love finding new healthy recipes that i can *attempt* to make and then feature on my blog
I didn't realised you were born in Nigeria! I grew up and there and spent the 1st 14 years of my life in Lagos!
@Khushboo - that is all too weird. we'll have to discuss what years you were there. Such a small world.
I really question my identity sometimes too, my love for Mexican food makes me do that! Love the looks of your blog and now off to explore some of your recipes!
Can you please post a recipe for kofta curry? My kofta's break and I need a perfect recipe for the curry in kofta curry. I love your recipes. I am waiting.
Thanks and regards
@Anonymous - You're so sweet, thanks! I will have to talk to my mom about Kofta Curry, and when I do "eventually" work on a recipe, it will be baked, not fried. I never make fried food, but I'll happily eat it outside. :)
