Top 10 Pictures
I am deeply honoured to have been tagged by Farida from azcookbook and although this isn’t some sort of food award or contest, I am absolutely thrilled. Notified through a comment on my blog, I practically threw everything off my bed, jumped on, blasted my fabulous JBL Creature Speakers with some hardcore bass beats and did my signature jiggly dance. Can’t fault me for getting excited with little things that go on round and about the foodie community. Anyway, this tagging fun has been started by At Anna’s kitchen table. Bless her.
What this entails really is simple: I get to post up 10 of my favourite food shots and then I pass the opportunity on to others by tagging 5 fellow food bloggers, leaving a message on their comments page just so they’re aware of it. Savvy?
With no further ado (haha, I am so putting on a posh accent in my head), I present to you my Top 10. They’re not exceptionally amazing or classy in any way but they’re my Top 10 from the memories they bring me. You can click on the pictures which will take you to the posts they were taken from. Just a note, some of these pictures are from very old posts and because this blog was shifted from blogger to wordpress to my own domain from ages ago, some of the old posts look very strange and messy (I have been too lazy to correct them yet) – my apologies for that!
Pray you enjoy these 10 food shots. Also, feel free to check out the 5 blogs I’ve tagged at the bottom. They’re 5 of my favourite food blogs I read regularly. They have loads of amazing pictures and a fantabulous variety of recipes. Can’t get enough of these guys.

Diva – I know you are one of the greatest writers I’ve seen online, I know you are one of the best cooks, one of funniest girls (at least i can sense it virtually), and now i know you are one of the most talented photographer in the blogging world! You are gifted. If I had been a man, and not married, I would have proposed to you:)))))) I have to try one of your recipes. Honestly, I have a bunch printed out already. Thanks for playing! PS: Still waiting for your mailing address for the magazine. Or did you change your mind?:))
