Welcome to Quality Living Styles, the resource center for self improvement, managed by Nirmala Pather.

As a mother and wife I have learned through my experiences of both joy and pain that life will always have challenges. Those challenges can be faced with despondency or as an opportunity to grow and develop. It is really up to the individual to make that choice. Most of the resources on this site have benefited me personally. I am therefore very comfortable in sharing them with others who may be seeking a better way to cope with conflicts, stress and relationships.

My most significant work experience has been that of a licensed social worker in both South African and the USA. I worked in many fields of social work including foster care and the licensing and training of prospective foster families.

These days I am a budding web designer and photographer, with a host of support from many of my peers, children, husband and teachers. I plan to continue to improve my skills in the field of web design.

Cooking is another great interest of mine. When I eat at restaurants, curiosity gets the better of me and before I know if, I am figuring out what ingredients were used in the dish. I am fortunate that I am often successful at imitating the real thing. Over the years, I have received so many compliments about my cooking, suggestions to open a restaurant and write a recipe book, that I have decided to make my recipes available to those who would like to venture into vegetarian cooking. I hope to compile recipe books in the near future.

My skills developed over years of practice and the influence of many wonderful cooks amongst friends and my own family, the most notable being, my mother, mother-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law and husband, who was more skilled at cooking than I used to be. Their expertise significantly contributed to my cooking ability.
