While following different blogs on my reader i somehow stumbled on Anjali's blog about the event on cakes, cookies and desserts. I haven't participated in any event as yet, but with my recent post on Mango Mousse Cake and the compliments I had been getting for this cake, I wanted to share it with more audience. I want more people to try it out and see how easy it is to make this delicious cake and hence for the first time, I have decided to enter into this event.


The recipe for the cake can be found here.

The link to event is here.

I am delighted to receive another award - Wylde Women Award :) My second award, quite fast and keeping me in happy and award hangover mode :) Thanks to Kitchen Flavours of Yummy Food who has passed on this to me.

The purpose of the Award is to send love and acknowledgement to women who brighten your day, teach you new things and live their lives fully with generosity and joy.

The rules and other details about the award present on the blogsite.

I would like to pass on this award to:

• Diksha
• Nivedita

Congratulations girls and enjoy it :)

I have received a "Blogging with Purpose" Award from Diksha.. Thanks a lot Diksha for passing this award to me. Being bollywood buff, I would like to give/write my speech for the award here.

First of all I would like to thank my husband - Ajoy. He has encouraged me in many ways.. Sometimes verbally.. sometime critically and most of the time eating whatever I gave him :) Be it then hard rock cakes that were a beiginning of cake baking. Or be it by giving my recipies unique looks like Sinking Titanic. He had been there all the time and I really owe him for this award.

The next thank you is obviously for my mom whom i have called at random times with queries like how to cook Jackfruit vegetable or asking her to write a few tricky recipies for me like samosas. She has also given me few nice recipe magzines that help in coming up with new dishes.

I would also like to friends who have helped me with some special recipies like Methi Malai Muttor or be it gifting recipie books during my wedding.

Thank you all for the encouragement and help.

I would like to pass on this award to :

• Sameer
• Aditya
• Ajit
• Milind
• Arun

Congratulations to all of you for the well deserved award.

Just realised that with the last recipe post, My Cooking Experiments contains 50 recipies.. Looks quite an achievement, especially with these hectic working schedules.. Feels great to have reached till here.. I do plan to take it further and post many more recipes :) so stay tuned :)

Ajoy has left for US today for couple of months.. So the main person to taste and certify my recipes isn't here.. Apart from that Ma and baba (in laws) are also here.. So not cooking anything :) Just enjoying food by ma :)

Result is experiments are stalled for some time.. So I might not be able to contribute much here but will try and posting stuff atleast once in 2 weeks :)
