What I have been upto...

I know I have been MIA for quite a while now. And I apologize for that. With all the traveling and attending marriages and parties, I haven't been able to find time for blogging! But....that doesn't mean that I have been out of the kitchen. On the contrary, I have been quite active in the kitchen...doing a lot of baking and cooking! Most of which has been packed into gifts for Diwali and Christmas.

So here's a peek at what all has been coming out of my kitchen in the winter months.
