He is not a scientist, but he can explain science with easy-to-understand clarity. He trained to be an electronic engineer but is now a software engineer. He learnt to cook from the women in his family, who can make the perfectly fluffy idli without lecturing people on lactobacilli and pH levels. He likes the scientific method not because it offers him the ability to bully people with knowledge, but because it confidently lets him say, 'I don't know, let me test it for myself.'\u003cbr\u003eWhen he is not cooking, he's usually playing subversive music on the violin or cello. He lives in Chennai with a wife, who sagely prevents him from buying more gadgets for the kitchen, and a son, who has the flora and fauna in the neighbourhood terrorized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eAshok, Krish\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKrish Ashok is not a chef but cooks daily.
