Everyday, I get to know so many new food blogger friends and their cute comments about how much they devoured the recipes. So, I thought why don’t I introduce these enthusiastic food bloggers to all of my readers, under the name ‘My Food Blogger Finds’.

In my first edition of ‘My Food Blogger Finds’, let me introduce Rajani of ‘Vegetarian in Me‘.

More about Rajani: in her own words…

A part time writer, some time film maker, more than half of the time ‘kitchen queen’ and completely, wholly full time mother. That’s me and somewhat my life. Living in the middle east and being a vegetarian - what are my choices? I am still figuring that one out! Meanwhile my kitchen is my playground - and I set the rules here. Well I didn’t start the blog to vent and rant but essentially to share with others the magic I see in my kitchen (which occasionally does dish out chicken and fish for my vegetably challenged husband). And also to share, remember and recreate foods that I have eaten, smelled, read about - now and in the past. So if you are as gastronomically inclined as I am towards trying out something new, something different, something that kids will enjoy - especially if it involves no meat - here’s where the action is!

Glad to know you Rajani and Welcome to the World of Food Blogging!
