My love affair with cooking began when I was a teenager. After getting married,I kept on experimenting with my recipes and my husband would get me whatever ingredients I wanted from all over the globe. My hunger for new recipes kept on growing and  the wide smile on my two lovely daughters faces intensified my cooking skills.They are grown up and are busy in their own world.It was their suggestion that I should start a blog .Actually its my my elder daughter initiative.Now ,I am amidst you enjoying every moment of blogging.Its a beautiful world wherin we learn everyday and get recognised for our efforts.

Since,I am not very old to blogosphere giving advice becomes difficult.But,I would like to tell my fellow bloggers  not to fear criticism and move ahead.

1. Earthacooks.com
