Life has taught me so many lessons starting from cooking till bringing up kids
I think so far what ever i tried in cooking has ended up in a mess due to the wrong recipes in the net :))

Anyways in my journey of life i have learnt and have a few collection of my mommies special which hasn't got her flavor but did tasted good ..
Here we go.....
