Congratulations on a year of successful food sharing and looking at your recipes, I can see why you have so many well deserved awards. Thank you so much for thinking of me, it is greatly appreciated. Take care, BAM
Thanks Bam, for your wonderful wishes…you have an amazing writing style and I’m happy to have found your site:) it’s a well deserved award.
You’re much too kind to include me among all of these fabulous blogs, so thank you for the thought and the mention, Perinaz (I popped over to your twitter page). SO many lovely writers to check out here! I’m looking forward to investigating your blogging friends, who obviously know a good thing when they see it. I can understand why you’re the recipient of all this recognition, as yours is truly a beautiful and inspiring blog to visit and learn from; I’m definitely glad to be here as you start your second year, Peri!
Hi Sid, thank you for your kind words for our work. You have a wonderful website that I’m sure many here are going to love discovering too:) Your award mention is very well-placed and deserved! Hope you find something interesting in this list of sites…And thanks for joining in on Twitter, I’ve followed you right back (yes, I love my full name, though I’ve rarely been called by it since childhood, I think people in India and the US just find ‘Peri’ much easier! LOL) Looking forward to year two!
Congrats Peri! and well deserved. I look forward to your posts, esp on parsi cooking that I know little about & Gosh! thanks for nominating soul of spice !
Thanks Charu, your recipes and pictures are mouthwatering & delicious, some of my personal favorites…well-earned nomination! I love posting Parsi recipes that I’ve grown up with:)

Congratulations on completing a fantastic year of blogging filled with inspiring cuisine! Just looking at this list of awards shows what a beautiful blog you have created.. and the friendships you’ve made. Thanks so much for giving me this award..

Hi Peri! Thank you for including intrepid allergy mum for nominations for the Liebster Award. It’s my first nomination, so I have received your nomination with a large element of surprise and some delight. The blog has only been going for twelve months, I set up the blog to help other Mum’s with some ideas for cooking for their allergic children, so thank you for stopping by and supporting the blog.
I love your recipes and food styling and photography, and will be acknowledging your nomination soon! Hope 2013 is gentle, abundant and kind to you and your family. Charmainex
Hi Charmaine, your site and endeavor are creditable and applaudable, especially since childhood allergies affect so many children and their moms, who are not prepared for it. While I’ve been lucky with my kids, I have friends who struggle with this challenge! Do keep up your amazing posts and keep spreading information on the subject…Your award is only a small nod of appreciation from my side. And thanks for your kind word on our site, I do enjoy making Indian-inspired food more accessible to everyone. XX Peri.
Oh My! Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for my nomination. And of course a big big congratulations to you for receiving all of these awards. You DO most certainly deserve them all!! Looking forward to another year full of wonderful new ideas for delicious India food to enjoy.
Much love light and JOY

Thank you, Peri, for Eat and Beat Cancer’s lovely blog award and for your lovely website. Love is the operative word–a love of research, writing and most of all, of life keeps me forging pathways to good health. Wisdom from India always helps.
You are so welcome, Harriet, absolutely well-deserved! Yes, it is a love for life that must keep us all on this path. You are doing an amazing job raising awareness and spreading researched information. I depend a lot on old Indian wisdom and one that I believe most is ‘to always trust your inner voice’. Keep up the great work!
