I started following Shanti Aunty in Instagram over a year ago and am truly impressed by her instagram feed since then. A Banker by profession,loves gardening, takes great care of her family,passionate about food and in spite of her busy schedule she manages to share her day to day preparations in various social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram without fail. She doesn’t stop at just uploading the pictures but painstakingly write down the recipes then and there along with the pictures. In an era where even if someone asks a recipe for a simple coconut chutney people will redirect…

But she lost her stomach to a…

As any other social media platform, Instagram is addictive too. When I started using it in 2012, I was so naive and don’t even know how to add hashtags or how to follow the right people. Since 2013 I have been uploading my food photos regularly and started getting a hang of it. Unlike other SM platforms there is not much of negativity here. Right from food photography,styling,recipe ideas you can learn so many things from this community. The best part is you can follow like minded, passionate foodies all around the world. There are no boundaries. “Insta-spirations” is my…

I have been following them on Instagram since 2013, from then till now they keep sharing interesting posts everyday. I never thought that vegetarian food can look exotic too and Ajit’s kitchen experiments proved me wrong.

Disclaimer : This post is definitely going to be a long read with a bit of ranting so please bare with me 🙂 My Food blogging journey started at Chennai in February 2010. I had quit my full time IT job, became a Home Maker and amidst all the new responsibilities, I was looking for a way to create a

I prepared Vegetable Puffs last week and had some leftover filling. I stuffed the filling the between two perfectly toasted breads and the sandwich tasted amazing.

We visited this place recently and absolutely enjoyed their food. Their tagline is ‘Deliciously Different’ and I should say Ethos did justice to that 🙂 They specialize in Vegetarian/Vegan/GlutenFree foods. The dishes were from different cuisines and if you are ok with this explosion of flavors , y
