Cooking Utensils- Must Have List- (My 'i might not find them again- but would like to own them'-list)

Like some of you who visit my blog already know, i'm relocating back to India from Bahrain. I was having a chat with my friend, Maria from Maria's Menu, and she was warning me that we don't get a lot of ingredients and kitchen gadgets that we get here back in India n' sometimes when you do get them, it turns out to be really really expensive...

That being the case, i decided to make a list of things (non perishable) like cooking utensils n' gadgets i'm gonna take along with me. I don't know if i have mentioned this before, but cooking for me is a new found love so while in India i never took note of what are the kinds of things i will find there. So please don't get offended if i say i'm gonna take cupcakes/muffins paper moulds with me from here. I just mean, i don't know where i will find them back home n' so it's better to take some with me than go searching all over......I'm a newbie to baking with a secret desire to become better at it, but i haven't tried anything much with it...but I found this article online n' i thought it is helpful for me to choose some basic things i want to take with me....

For the all round cooking with utensils n' gadgets, i found this website really helpful, and this one i'm sure most of the things mentioned here would be avialable back home, but this atleast helped me frame a list of things i should have. Try out the other related links n' you might find more info on things you might be interested in...

It's been over a week since i visited blogs of my friends here n' the main reason is i find blogs really inspiring n' i end up feeling like i want make something nice instead of eating out n' i don't have the things i might need with me....which is very frustrating to say the least....i don't know how soon my kitchen would be functional once we reach back as we need to find a place to stay once we reach Bangalore. I have some new dishes in my draft to post, but need to find the snaps. Hopefully, i will do it over the next couple of days as i have nothing to do at work these days. We have been eating out most of the days or have been getting invitations to eat at our friends place...so i'm shamelessly eating like a royalty with no credit to the thought on my mind that if i eat like a pig there is a very good chance i might end up looking like one too....:(

  9. Good luck with your move..definitely things are changing in India, so you may find almost everything there too, esp in a big city like B'lore :-) The grocery stores always surprised me with things I never dreamed of finding when I went back from Germany 7 years back :-) So sure that things have changed a lot after that, for good :-)But it is wise to take some utensils that might be of better quality, than the ones we get back in India...
