Shanthi Nagothu from Norway has sent in pictures of her beautiful kitchen for our October Blog Carnival, It’s the cook’s nook!
Over to Shanthi..

I have a kitchen becoz I got one with the house 🙂
How does that sound! And that is me. Those of you who are getting jealous , here is the truth – I am the Ramu in the kitchen doing all other odd jobs. I do cook – gourmet cooking :-). I survive most of the parties because luckily most of our friends are Norwegians and so I really need not cook lots of dishes and they do not know the desi taste. But my Indian friends do say that I am not that bad :-). So here we go for a sneak peak into my kitchen.
 |
| My little kitchen garden |
 |
| An inherited antique silver tea pot |
 |
| An antique masala box |
 |
| My pride authentic French Le Creuset cookware |
 |
| Salt and pepper corner |
 |
| The museum replicas of my Greek pottery |
 |
| I had to make sure that I am the boss of my kitchen :-). |
 |
| 4 paintings put together depicting village life in a day from sunrise to moonrise. May be I need to swap pics 1 and 2. I think it is madhubani . Picked up in one of my trips to India at a crafts mela. |

| My gorgeous Spanish ceramic fruit bowl with some ceramic fruits and apples from my garden |

| What do u say , Am I a good Project Manager (That’s my day job). |
 |
| Put the entire wealth of the world on one side and these on the other and I will choose these ones below. Imagine the joy that came when my kids walked into the house carrying these gifts for me from their DIY projects at school, A cutting board, A baking needle with Shreya’s name engraved on it, A cup with all our names , and the same sankalp after few yrs moulded the designer looking cup. |
 |
| Really liked the idea of spoons and forks together with the flowers , picked from one of the sites posted on GB’s blog. Had to had to get one … -). |
Thank you Sharon and Rekha. Doing this for your blog I also added color here and there and I think my kitchen is now DONE. Drop in a comment if you enjoyed my tour.
