I guess many of you would have noticed that my blog has been rather silent in the past couple of weeks. My Dad passed away rather suddenly at the beginning of the month and I was away. I got back a few days ago but right now, there are a lot of things keeping me otherwise occupied and I might not be able to post as regularly as I used to for the rest of this month.
My thanks to everyone who called or mailed me enquiring about my absence. I very much appreciate the wishes and prayers you all sent my way, and for keeping me in your thoughts.
I'm Aparna and My Diverse Kitchen is my ovo-lacto vegetarian food blog where you'll find recipes, food stories & photography. I've been blogging since 2007 and believe the kitchen, and the dining table (by extension) is really the heart of a home.
