As you all know that Merry Tummy turned 1 year this march and therefore I conducted an event at my blog called as One year Recap Event. I will like to thank each one of you for those lovely and encouraging comments. I read each comment and all of them are very special and motivating for me.  Choosing the winners was very difficult task for me thus, Mr. Husband helped me out and we have chosen 3 winner. So the winners are:

Priya from Yummy Foods. She has won Sanjeev Kapoor Snacks and Starters. She said-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.

Nilu of Kitchen Sernity. She will get Sanjeev Kapoor Vegetarian Cooking Around The World. She said- 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.  Looking forward to more of your amazing recipes :-)

And last but by no means the least - Preety from Preety’s Kitchen. She has been the victor of Sanjeev Kapoor Simple Home Baking.  She said- First of all hearty congratulations on turning one , great milestone and wish you many more anniversaries celebrations in future with more giveaways offcourse..;)..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 favourite 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.

The event was totally successful and I enjoyed reading back my own recipes and living the year again. One year was interesting and so good with all your love and comments. Thanks once again.

Memorable Blogger's Buzz And A Thank You Note!!

All of us are very well aware about the virtual events that take place in the blogging world. But recently on 23rd of February I attended a real life event called as Blogger’s Buzz. The event was attended by talented bloggers from all over the Europe. 

Blogger’s Buzz was organized by Nupur of  Uk rasoi , Nisha of Look who is cooking too and Preeti of Isingcakes and more; well what can I say about them, their blogs speak for themselves and the efforts they put in everything. Kudos to them!!

Even though the weather outside was pale and cold, I felt that inside the venue everything was so colourful and warm. I knew that breakfast and refreshment would be served, but the varieties surpass my expectations’, the table was loaded with muffins, yogurt, sandwiches, tea, coffee and juice. After chatting around and talking we all were settled. The event started with introducing ourselves and it was so wonderful to meet and know about each blogger talking about same interest-Food.

The major highlight of the event was 3 master classes. 1^st session was on Food Photography by Jeanne of Cook sister . She mentioned some real important basics of food photography which was very much needed by me. 



The next class was conducted by Dora of BoBo Macarons and we were shown the method and recipe of making perfect macaroons. Oh yes they tasted divine. 

And finally the last session (one I was waiting for) was on monetizing the blog by Glam Media. All the classes were gripping and truly useful for food bloggers.

For me, the event soon became more special and memorable one. I won the contest. One needed to make anything that matched the theme of Blogger’s Buzz poster (yellow and purple with some butterflies). I made French Crepe cake layered with blueberry sauce and topped with mango mousse. The prize was sponsored by Hotel Chocolat and I will like to thank them for it. The Pamper Collection contained some of their finest chocolates and I am glad I was lucky to try them.

Certificate

 

I must say that Blogger’s Buzz happened was because of the hard work of Nupur, Nisha, Preeti and Suchi. But what I must say it would have been incomplete without the kind sponsors of the venue -Ilovesabji.com and Avedna Ayurveda, Sri Krishna Vada Pav for yummy Indian lunch ,Tea/coffee from Whittard of Chelsea and evening snack from Urban Tadka. 

Soon the event was over and but the excitement to see what was inside the goodie bag was still on. I was so pleased to see the stuff in the bag. It comprised of delicious Devnaa sweet box, Popchips, useful cooler bag from Total Greek Yoghurt, varieties from Silver Spoon products, very well known Nielsen Massey Vanilla Extract, every baker’s desired recipe book-Baking Mad, sugar goods of Billingtons. The other 2 useful items in the bag was online vouchers from Dream Cakes and discounted coupons of Avedna Ayurveda.

Blogger’s Buzz was indeed the memorable one and I am happy that I attended it.

All the talented Bloggers
