I started my blog a few weeks ago bec I had learnt how to cook from the women in my family, but unfortunately, they never wrote anything down. I think it&#39;s a lovely idea to document everything for your children. This winter when I am in Karachi, I hope to get my mother-in-law&#39;s recipes which she has scrawled in a notebook. My father was posted to Dhaka in the late 90&#39;s, so I am familiar with Bengali cuisine, I especially like the way you prepare your prawn dishes. Lovely, lovely site.

I grew up in Orissa in a bangali household and now I&#39;m a bit of a wanderer based in UK with two boys, a husband and a dog. Cooking bangali seems to calm the soul at the end of a long day. It goes well with the boys.

I love food, but am new to Bengali food (as of 5 years now). I want to be able to make foods that my hubby loves from his childhood and also for my son to enjoy both his Gujarati and Bengali heritage. Your blog is amazing! I have now made a couple of your recipes and my hubby thinks they're as good as his mom's! Now that's a compliment!! Your blog is inspiring and I hope you continue for a long time to come!

The latest, and for the third time in a row, is The Times of India group. They published a piece today which was a straight lift from something I had written in May 2006.The proof is there on the blog in the form of photographs. Please follow the links as well so you will know some of the history of their ongoing plagiarism.<BR/>My blog is not high prose...nor is it fantastically creative. Nevertheless we all own our words and photographs, published, as they are, not for money but, for the sheer joy of writing about what interests us.<BR/>I would be very grateful if you could log onto the site and support me by leaving a comment. It will be immensely helpful for a prospective battle against this very arrogant Goliath.<BR/>I note your banner against Plagairism and hope you will help out,<BR/><BR/>Kind regardsJyotsnahttp://thecookscottage.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-74063010149512636842008-10-22T08:13:34.907-04:002008-10-22T08:13:34.907-04:00Hi, I have just started blogging.
