Another Feather in my Hat:

Received an award ( a recipe book) from Simply TADKA for the best recipe  ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES - EGGLESS. The book titled ‘The Café Spice Cookbook”  which arrived a couple of days back and I am very excited to read the book and try some of the recipes. This is the third prize I’ve received so for since I started my blog last year . I feel deeply obliged to be recognized on a Global platform via my blogging and very blessed to know that my recipes reach thousands out there who share my passion for food and culinary. I wish to keep trying different recipes and share them with all of you through this blog and hope that it brings everyone as much joy as it does to me.
