The entire concept of this blog originated from the fact that I wanted to treasure the age-old recipes that run in my family (from UP, India). This blog contains not only the traditional family recipes but all the other recipes that intrigue me, the recipes that I tried and turned out really well. I love cooking and truly loved cooking these special dishes. Here's hoping that you would find the same joy in these that I did!!
