 Wow!!! That really struck a chord somewhere.. I was a foodie from the starting but its only now that I thought of sharing my ideas with everybody...
Very soon as all of us will complete our graduation we'll have to cook on our own, either to break monotony or to escape tiffin food. :) This is where you'll find all the basic recipes starting from coffee right up to pizza. So that you can create home food away from home...
