Monica Bhide I was interviewed recently by the fantastic team at the new Behind the Burner site. This next generation food website has all the right ingredients – passion, focus, great content and spark.

. What is your favorite secret ingredient?
Spontaneity (also known to my friends as my lack of patience!)! When I cook, I love to play with my ingredients. I mix flavors, add different spices, cook dates and figs together to see what happens. It has never failed me! The kitchen, in my opinion, is not the place to be over analytical. Just put things together that you like — simplicity works best. Then as you go along and get more experienced begin adding more complex ingredients and you will be creating superb dishes in no time.
