My passions in life...baking, cooking, nature, art, photography. I believe in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. I enjoy blogging immensely, & am part of a wonderful online community.
I blog from India, where my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients. Join me in my adventures as I wriggle my way thorugh the kitchen!
