Food has long surpassed the value of just a survival instinct. Arts, literature, religion or any culture celebrates food. Showering rice during Hindu or Christian weddings is a gesture of blessing the couple with prosperity. Turmeric is the sign of fertility. Wine is divine. Chocolate is sinful.

Food has various personal associations. So many would be nostalgic at the thought of their mother cooking while they watched TV or simply slept. The sound of various vessels, the cutting, the chopping and the aroma of simple everyday cooking. Only those who love cooking know that it is a spiritual act. The one that also involves senses. The tempering of mustard, the sound and the smell is a symphony. At Gastronaut we are in tune with you.
