The art of grilling

Grilling...a new passion which has been growing as i continue watching those mouthwatering grills and roasts that Robert Rainford comes up with in Asia Food Channel.....The concept of the grill is an ancient and very basic way of cooking and over the ages it has got supplemented by modernisation of the grilling equipment and the availability of spices....

So that brings me to think...what is essentially a grill...In my personal opinion it is what u do with food components as u do with khichdi and the cereals and the contents that go into it....A good grill is a function of the chef's creativity, the raw material and of course the skill associated with orchestrating the fire.....

So then is just just plain bespoke low skilled activity or is this the high science of fusion art or molecular gastronomy.....I think it is indeed art as the quality of a grilled dish is imagination and raw materials.....

For tonight this art form takes the form of some olive oil, garlic, lemon grass, methi leaves, nutmeg, oregano and chicken....toss them together...throw in the chicken...plonk it into the grill and viola after 1 hour or so...a work of edible art emerges.....

PS : This is a post after a long time as i wanted to just write something and keep this blog going...i think i should get more organised and should have some recency associated with the blog
