Break ke Baad

Fifty recipes in the Food Stall in twenty nine days called for a celebration. So off we went to Snowdonia in Wales. Join me in my yatra by the end of this week for a picturesque tour of Llandudno. The beauty of the place takes your breath away & one comes back more than rejuvenated after the break.

Meanwhile, mom's kitchen ran with clockwise precision. It saw delicacies being churned out with the speed of the inferno. Chilli Fish was made in Bhaitu & Mou's honour. The scientists are back from Vienna & are settling in in their Bangalore residence. Foodies of the highest order, they relish their grub with the love of the afficionado. It is always a pleasure hosting people who enjoy your cooking.
