People know me for my love for food. I love to cook for family and friends. I love to spoil family and friends by making special dishes and surprising them because it makes my day to see someone enjoying something that I made with love:). There's nothing quite like preparing a feast for appreciative friends, or creating a special meal for loved ones. I have no formal anything but I learnt a lot from my mum, mum in-law and grandmothers, they just dont measure anything with measuring spoons or cup measures, the skills are in their magical fingers :). The simpler the dishes the better for me, but I never compromise on taste!And I have so much more I want to share one of the great joys of cooking with all of you. Hope you all will like my food :)
