I am Akshita Kanumury and if I had to describe myself I would say am a complete food freak! My love for food started from the time I discovered the sense of taste and smell. I remember as a kid, we would go on annual holidays and my favourite and the most awaited part of the entire trip would be checking out the restaurants and sampling the local cuisines. I even recall this one incident when I was given a choice to choose between a lunch at an authentic dining or a road trip to one of the most exotic beach locations in the country, I chose the former without a second thought - such was my drive for food!   

My family has been very instrumental in giving me the push to take my love for food forward. Not only have they put up with my wacky-expertiments-gone-wrong but have also given me constuctive criticism on how to improvise. And so, here goes my "My Food Diary" - a compilation of all the recipes I have collected from family, friends, blogs and shows and given a touch of my own!
