Iam an asian and have tried varied cuisines after i got married, coz my HD i a great food lover. I like Indian, Thai, some chinese, lots of mexican and italian foods. Actually i love mexican style. Strictly vegetarians its sometimes not possible to substitute ingredients and yet retain the original taste of the dish!! that has been a great challenge for me.
