Description
Bread Bonda. A tea time brunch that my mom used to make when i was a kid . Very rarely did mom get into the kitchen to cook as she was so busy helping dad with his business. I use to love seeing my mom cook and being in the kitchen. Though mom is not a great cook. The little she cooks is jaw dropping.My son till date tells that my mom is the worlds best cook.I am still struggling to win my boys heart through his tummy. My parents were here at my place for a day, last week. They got to see my cooking competition pictures only then.The pride my mom had in her seeing those pictures and showing it to dad. That one moment i was filled with utter joy as my mom was not at all happy about me starting sauté ,fry n bake. She kept complaining saying its not going to do any good to you, stop wasting your time. Recently at a cousins wedding had so many friends,relatives and others who had liked sauté,fry n bake talk to me about my page.All along having my mom beside me. Happy i proved her wrong and made my parents feel proud about me . The joy of connecting with all you people through food which I am passionate about is ultimate .
