ABOUT

After collecting and writing recipes on bits of paper and notebooks,it was high time to gather them in an archive.So,one day my son,who was already a blogger,gave me a tip:"How about creating a recipes blog?"

  It was in May 2011,that I first uploaded "Homemade flavors",

starting with recipes,followed by photos,twitter,facebook and so on...

  Now,almost on a daily basis,after finishing the house chores,I

eagerly take my PC to update my blogwith new entries.And when 

times goes by without any input or new ideas I start to worry!!!
