Best of 2008 - Recipe Collection

Time flies faster than you think, and its already time to bid farewell to 2008, and welcome the New year with open arms and loads of dreams and aspirations. This has indeed been a very eventful year for us, both professionally and personally, and 2008 is definitely one of our most memorable years. I'm not going to bore you with details about why it is so, but I would surely like to thank all of you, my blogosphere friends, my readers, subscribers, silent followers and the enthusiastic commentors who keep Fun and Food a cheery place for food-lovers from around the world! This year also saw the launch of Fun and Food Cafe, and thanks for showering your love and support for the new baby just as you have shown to my blog; I'm happy and proud to see that FFCafe has started attracting more traction than I hD expected.

You might have seen a tiny drop in the number of posts on this blog, but that is just because I have enveloped the doctrine that Quality is indeed better than Quantity, at least as far as Food goes - so as personal life gets a bit more demanding, I shall promise to keep delivering good food, nutrition advice and keep sharing all my ideas with you here as well as at Fun and Food Cafe - so keep reading for there's lots more coming in the New Year!

And now, without further ado, here are some of my favorite 2008 Recipes and Articles. Just a recap for those who need a few ideas as you still indulge in the holiday season. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as we did! Off this goes to Srivalli, who's hosting the Best of 2008 event this month!
