It’s been a while that I was tagged to do post my top 10 foodie photographs from my blog. When I first got the tag from Farida @ Azarbaijani Cookbook I was thrilled. This was something just me…’say it with pictures’. Tags in general remind me of my dear friend Manggy@ No Special Effects where he claims ‘all tags come to die’. This tag was special & challenging. Clicking away to glory is my next best therapeutic pleasure after cooking or baking, & I’m still trying to squeeze the life out of my old faithful camera. DH has been on my case to get a new one…until that comes along, here’s my pick for my top 10, being posted pronto because dear Rosie @ Rosie Bakes a Peace of Cake tagged me for the same. I’m embarrassed that I needed prodding to get my act together…sorry that I’m so late Farida, but IT WAS ALWAYS ON MY MIND!! Have been tagged again by Jamie @ Flavour Pantry for the same one last night, so I’d better HURRYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!

I’ve picked 10 of my random food pictures…& couldn’t resist posing my 2 fave non-foodie ones at the bottom.
Top 10 food pics……this tag consists of choosing 10 of your top food pics and in return tagging 5 people to choose 10 of their tops food pics.

Nalli+GoshtIn turn, I would like to tag…

…all accomplished foodies whose photographs I have marvelled at for long! Do stop by & take a peek into their blogs; they are a source of inspiration!! butterfly+2grasshopper+2Sneaking in 2 non-foodie favourite snaps of mine!

The past days have seen more awards than I ever dreamt I could get, falling into my lap. Each of these make me feel very chuffed indeed, & I am absolutely honoured to be in this sort of ‘firing line’. Thanks to each one of you who thought I was worth it & picked me from the millions of fantastic foodies & bloggers out there. I need to pass these on before they grow roots sitting on my blog…yummyblogI got this delicious one from Ranji @ Ranji’s Kitchen Corner, Kalai @ Samaithu Paarkalaam, Purnima @ Fantasy Cooking . Thanks a lot ladies for thinking of me.

The person who receives the award should display the “Yummy Blog !” logo on their blog and also the meaning…which is “Yummy blog award is the award given to the blog with most yummy recipes/photos“. The receiver should also quote their favorite yummy-licious 🙂 dessert(s) that they have ever prepared/eaten. Don’t restrict yourself to any dessert, chocolate bars also welcome. Also the receiver should pass on the award to four other bloggers whose blog they find “yummy” and let them know about the rules.
My fave yummilicious desserts on my blog would be…

Mango Ice-cream Swiss Roll
Mango Ice-Cream
Panna Cotta Espresso
I would like to pass on this YUMMY award to the following delicious blogs:-

Phew, if you’re still here & reading, I got this next award, precious & ‘ever so cute’, from my dear friend Amy of Familia Bencomo…it’s the most cheerful & expressive one I’ve seen to date ! Would like to pass this one to these blogs which I love visiting as often as I can…

And finally, Amy tagged me for this one too….what a GREAT thought!! Thank you Amy. I’m passing this one on to…

Thank you for patiently being here, if you are still here that is! This has taken me the better half of today to complete & I have learnt my lesson…not to procrastinate!! HAVE A FAB DAY!!

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.

    Ooh, I am loving your selection of pictures! I remember your Christmas cookies, I think they’re the first post I ever stumbled into here (for the Christmas cookies event I believe) 🙂 Haha, I’m glad there’s some way you always remember me. For as long as there will always be memes, right? 😛 Honestly I wish I knew more bloggers so I could spread the love around, plus I get a little fussy about tagging some friends more often than others… It’s too stressful so I decided to let it go for now! Now is not the time for me to be stressed, haha! 🙂 Thanks so much for the award, you make my day too!

    Oh you naughty girl!!! Fortunately, I now sleep in evening gowns so I’m totally prepared to accept these (my goodness two!?!?!) awards as I drink my coffee – all I need to do is re-apply my lipstick. Thank you, sweetie!

    All of you photographs are amazing. The strawberry chocolate swiss roll is a work of art. You have such a steady hand with decorating your desserts.

    I can’t believe the kids summer break has already started. We have one more month of school & then 2 months off. I love spending hours at the pool (I sit in the shade with the other moms – I don’t dare get in a bathing suit!). Glad your son is over the chicken pox & is back to running you ragged.

    Tanti baci, my friend! And, thank you again for the awards! I’m completely flattered & humbled to be grouped with such an outstanding bunch of foodies.
