Hi Vijay,
ReplyDeleteThis is a a very good cause. Thanks for the invitation to participate.
I would like to help by offering one of my recipes (the VCCQ3 winning recipe!) and creative design on the layout of the book.
Please let me know if i could be of any help. My email addy while on holiday is [maegabriel at googlemail dot com].
Hi VKN
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea and I would like to help.
I am a food writer and content consultant based in Mumbai and in the past year I have focused on collecting heirloom recipes. I will look through those, select some of the most interesting ones and send them in after I have asked permission from the ladies I got them from. I will also send in a recipe of my own.
I am also forwarding information on this as part of my new year mail to everyone I know and posting a link on my blog.
Additionally, I think I might be able to clear space in my calender to write/edit so please let me know if you would require help with that part of things.
