Featured Blog of the Month - Aug '08

This is the first time I am featuring any blog in mine. When I was thinking what I can do to encourage our fellow bloggers, this is the first idea that came to my mind. Each foodie is special in their own way. Working hard to keep the blog running, taking eye catching pictures - A life of a food blogger is more busy than what we think. I conducted an Eat Healthy - Protein Rich Contest in my blog and the blog with the most entries to that contest will be honoured and featured in my blog. This is done just as a token of appreciation.

My first winner is Srilekha of Sriskitchen. She was so kind and sent a total of 27 entries to the contest. She deserves more than this. I am happy to share some facts about our winner.



Srilekha, being an Indian, is from the "Temple City",Madurai, Tamilnadu. She has completed MCA and was working for a concern. After marriage she quit her job.'I want to enjoy the real beauty of married life', she says with no regret.She is a mom of a 1 yr and 11 months old son Amiitesh and a full time home maker.

When asked ' How did your blog come to life?', she answers with a smile,'when I feel very bored and depressed to be at home round the clock, my hubby recommended me to prepare a blog about something which I love more and I don't know anything about blog at that time and now I have lot of friends in blogosphere and I chat with them. so my hubby inspired me a lot to start with this cooking blog!

Now I too have launched an event and i have 200 posts in my blog and my blog is just about 5 months old but visitors count has hit about 11000 and more.'

Great going srilekha. Our best wishes for your success.
