One Year Recap Event And 3 Giveways


Hello All, I am glad to bring before you another event and this time to celebrate 1 year anniversary of Merry Tummy. I am so proud that my blog turned 1 on 19th March. I am so happy and glad to see the response, comments and love that you all have bestowed on me and Merry Tummy in this span of one year.

I planned to do a Recap Event. I will like to know your views and opinions about my recipes. This way I will also get the chance to revise the recipes and re-live those moments. The event is very easy pezy and simple; you do not have to cook, link or mail the recipes. Let me come to the rules of the event.

Since this a recap event; browse through my recipes and posts and comment below which of my recipe/dish you like the most and why. Also Like Merry Tummy on Facebook and do the same-comment which recipe/dish you like the most and why. Please be kind to Join and follow Merry Tummy. Oh yes!! Even non bloggers can participate and finally share this event to as many as you can. This event is live till May 2013.

For the giveaway I have chosen 3 books of Sanjeev Kapoor to as a token of appreciation to all my lovely readers.All of us in India know who Sanjeev Kapoor is, Sanjeev Kapoor is one among the renowned chefs in India and his show Khana Khazana was longest running cookery show in Asia. Now I am sure you all will love to possess his cookery books.  

All the 3 books are different and contain his best recipes. The recipes in the book are divided into two parts-ingredients and method of preparation for easy understanding. Here are the books-
  • Sanjeev Kapoor Snacks and Starters- The book includes recipes of traditional Indian delicacies such as pav bhajis, kababs, rolls, vadas, idlis, and dhoklas, in addition to sauces and chutneys. Apart from Indian dishes, the book also gives recipes to cook many international delicacies like spring rolls, chilli tacos, and even apple and cheese toast. There are two subsections for each recipe.
  • Sanjeev Kapoor Vegetarian Cooking Around The World-Chef Kapoor brings favourite dishes from Mexico, Europe, the Middle East, the Far East and America to your table. Dine on Mexican Quesadillas; Middle Eastern Fattoush; Italian Roasted Tomato Farfel, Swiss Cheese Fondue and Thai Green Curry. Wash it all down with a steaming Moroccan Mint Tea or an icy Strawberry Granita.
  • Sanjeev Kapoor Simple Home Baking- This book will demystify all those baking mysteries and help you to bake a perfect batch of pastries, a beautifully risen cake or crispy and crunchy cookies. Just follow the recipes diligently and enjoy the heavenly aroma of a perfectly baked cakes, cookies or pies.
Now, on 1st of June 2013 I will choose 3 best answers/ comments as the winners. I can ship these books only in India so those who can provide an address in India are eligible for giveaway. 

 Looking forward for your love and contribution.

    Hi Shweta, wonderful event and beautiful gifts. I love your eggless chocolate almond cake, it is very simple and easy to make and I love chocolate cake. I like many recipes which you have posted, I really stuck with which one to choose. The black forest cake is so perfect and mouth watering and you have explained really well. My list will keep growing, so I will stop with this for now.
    I am already following you.

    Hey Shweta, Congrats for your successful completion of a year.. After a complete tour of your blog and seeing the wonderful recipes you have shared with us. I feel it is very difficult to decide which to choose from.. I have even bookmarked a couple of recipes to try soon.. Be it your Lauki Kofta Ki Dahivali Curry..or your French Crepes Cake Layered With Blueberry Sauce And Topped With Mango Mousse.. or your step by step garlic rolls.. All have left me craving to have some right now.. But if given a chance, the first recipe I would like to try would be your Spinach corn Bhaji as it is very healthy and full of nutrition... Already following you on facebook and google+! Wish you lotts of success in the years to come.. Looking forward to more of your amazing recipes :-)

    Hi,

    First of all hearty congratulations on turning one , great milestone and wish you many more anniversaries celebrations in future with more giveaways offcouse..;)..I am so surprised in one year only it seems like you have more than 200 recipes on your blog..cheers for that ..browsed your blog and i am liking all your recipes (that i have seen so far)..but if you want me to pick one favorite recipe then it will be Rajma Tikkis..

    Why:- i love recipes who have less ingredients, are less complicated , are healthy , crowd pleaser and can be make/prepared ahead of time..And your recipe meets all the requirements..

    Actually i never thought of making patties with rajma before..i have some boiled rajma in my refrigerator so i will try this one..

    Good luck for the event and liked your facebook page too..
