I did watch the season of Masterchef India when she won. I’m glad to see her doing so well.
As am I. 🙂
Such a brilliant post! Your honesty and creativity are refreshing in our evolving media landscape – it isn’t something that can be forced, rather it is something that should be nurtured. Quality > quantity!
Thank you for sharing such kind thoughts about my work, Shilpa.
Nowadays, blogging has become such a pretentious industry that I often question whether I want to do it or not. But you’ve made me realize that ~ “If it’s your blog, it’s your rules.” Thank you for being authentic, Tanya.
You are very affectionate and kind, Jasmine. Thank you for your sweet thoughts!
Well said through and through, Tanya. Of course, I would want to see more food and fashion posts from you, only because the photographs are always of such high quality and beautifully written. 🙂
Congratulations Shazia Ma’am!
Thank you for being present, Sarvpreet. So glad you enjoy my posts!
Love this! I think that taking a step back and evaluating the content that is produced instantly vs the posts that actually take time and thought is such an important thing to do, and something I really love about your blog, Tanya!
You’re an incredibly thoughtful person, Arunima. Have a beautiful day!
Excellent piece of work – thanks for sharing. Congratulations Chef Shazia!
You are very welcome, Kanika.
I agree with everything you have oh-so eloquently written in this post, Tanya! It may be easy to cook from a recipe off the Internet, or cook watching a YouTube video. But a cookbook is the best way! xx
Thank you for resonating with this and your sweet appreciation, Snehal.
The charm of a cookbook ~ recipes that are curated by a person you know, or whose food you are familiar with or are a fan of. Thank you, Shazia Khan!
Exactly.
What I love cooking: Modern Indian food. 🙂 I’m guessing this cookbook will provide me with exactly that!
