I have started cooking after my marraige,my husband encouraged me by nice appreciation and along with the appreciation he would definitely correct my small mistakes, intially I was little upset with the corrections as like all beginners,but later I have started to try different recipes in my own style to get his appreciation.Now I am his favourite cook and he has started to compare other foods with mine.
My Husband is the reason to star the blog and also he is the greatest support to star this. The reason is he is staying alone without me for his job,so I have started to mail the recipes step by step to make him cook easily, there I have got an idea that if the steps were in pictures it will be more easier for him, that's how I have got the idea to start a food recipe blog with step by step pictures.
I am here to share some recipes that I know and also from my Mom and Grandma too. You can expect some authentic recipes of my region (kongunaattu samayal).
