Celebrating First Blog Anniversary
Zaiqa has turned one!
Its about an year now since I had been food blogging. I am thrilled and its time to celebrate my One Year Blog Anniversary.

I dont believe its almost an year now since I had been food blogging and with each and every passing day my love and passion for blogging about food and my recipes has only enlarged and advanced. I am learning everyday, about the different cuisines through many of my foodie friends and their wonderful food blogs. And I have made numerous friends through this medium, some of them, my beloved readers who encourage me, and drop lovely words and comments, and some of them, the esteemed and highly talented foodies out there in the ever growing world of food blogging who inspire, teach and present us all with the various ways of whipping up foods into something luscious and tantalizing both for the eyes and palate.
Through this medium I attempt to exemplify the world about the modern Hyderabadi everyday cooking with basic ingredients in a healthful way, the way my elders have been practising, the way my Mummy, Mother-in-law, Naniammi and Dadiammi taught me and the way I am learning each day.
I will try my best to continue food blogging for many more days to come. Thanks for all your lovely comments and words of appreciation and encouragement.
Cheers!
