With the recipe book in hand and a strong desire to do something special to celebrate 5 long years of blogging, I decided to attempt my first ever Tiramisu.
I started blogging with an aloo parata recipe and then slowly progressed to cakes and bakes, Looking back at my blogging, food experiments, my new found career as a home baker, I'm so delighted that I took this path in life. Yes, so better than than the deadlines at work, the urgent emails, client queries and travel to work..
Thought I still have a long way to become an expert, I'm happy with the little baby steps and the daily progress..
And most important, I want to thank you for visiting this foodie blog, the comments, and suggestion.
Bless You.
