Am Priya Suresh who blogs at Priya's Versatile Recipes and i live in Paris,France. Blogging means a lot to me and i have been blogging since 2008. My space have variety of foods and numerous bakes, seriously i never thought of blogging till today as i started this space initially to share my foods i cook daily in my small kitchen. Slowly blogging became a part of my life and still keeping myself busy in blogging.

Actually i entered into this virtual world after hearing numerous encouraging words from few of my friends whenever i post my recipes in a famous food related site, also the admin of the site insisted me to open a blog to put my recipes under a roof. Then one fine day i entered to this virtual world, this is how i  started this blog baby.Honestly i have to say a big thanks to each and everyone for their support and encouraging words since ever i started blogging.What else does a food blogger need..

After I started blogging,i learned to bake cakes and baked goodies without eggs and as vegan,obviously i do share many eggless and vegan bakes.Now i can bake variety of bakes as vegan or eggless and stopped running behind the dairy products or eggs if i don't have at home.

Blogging will teach us many more interesting recipes,since am curious in learning needless to say blogging  teached me a lot. Somehow this keeps me blogging and helps me to stay in this virtual world since a long time.
