Fact of the day: I love food.
Throughout my life my relationship with food was a love-hate one!
First I used to hate food when I was a kid and I was practically a walking stick back then; I removed my tonsils at age 8, and suddenly my new-found love of food begins to prosper.

This is where my blog comes in. The idea behind this virtual diary is to share my own experimentation with healthy food and make it more acceptable to the seasoned palate. I hope in my very humble way, I would help other people maintain a healthy diet and enjoying their meals at the same time.
Stay tuned for my food posts and hopefully useful recipes as well!
