Internet Interview with Padhu the Food Blogger

So here is our Interview with Padhu, Hope you will like it.

Hi Padhu,

What is your specialty in cooking? Is it Chinese, continental, Italian, shudhdesi or something else?

I am an Indian and grew up eating Indian food . I also love Indian food, so my specialty is Indian food.

Please share with us your blogging experience and your journey to “padhuskitchen”.
How it all started and how you made it a success story?

Cooking is my passion. I wanted to share my knowledge of cooking with others, so started www.padhuskitchen.com in 2008. As I already had a blog on health and beauty, starting Padhuskitchen was not difficult for me. Hard work, dedication, willingness to learn, positive attitude and belief in myself can be attributed to the success of Padhuskitchen. Food blogging is not just about cooking and publishing recipes. It is more than that. Apart from cooking, other things like food photography, marketing, web designing, good writing are equally important. When I started my blog, I knew nothing about all these but as I grew, I learn’t and developed these skills. Success did not come to me overnight. It was a slow but steady growth.

Everyone has some secrets of life and because of this, it is our favorite question. You have to tell us one such secret about your life that no one yet knows.

I am an open book. That is my plus and also my minus. There are no secrets in my life. Just for information, I am a left hander.
