"Hi,
salam, namastay, chaao to everybody.. Meet me I am Monu Teena recently
blogging on Recipes Passion :) As clearly mentioned from my Blog title,
cooking is more than a passion for me. I am truly inspired with nature
and traditional flavors, loves to come up with new stuff and keep
searching on new recipes for my blog. Not only cooking, baking has the
same importance for me. I baked my first Vanilla Cake when i was only in
10th standard under my mom's assistance. She taught me how to bake a
cake, how to whip a cream? I did icing on top and frosted with
pineapples. It was a big achievement for me at that time. Almost 10
years have been passed but I still call myself a learner. Other than my
passion I am Telecommunication Engineer by profession and a student of
management sciences. Happily married too. It was a little introduction
about myself.
I
am glad to be invited at Gloria's place, thanks a lot Gloria dear for
taking out your precious slot for me. I met Gloria in our bloggy world,
seriously she has so many wonderful collection of recipes. I was truly
amazed by her desserts and vegetarian recipes. I started following her,
after a week or two, found her on Facebook. When we started
conversation, i found her such a sweet heart, so friendly and a humble
person. Very happy to have her in my friends list. Hope our friendship
will get more stronger from time to time. Well I am so grateful to her,
this is truly a wonderful experience to me on her blog. When she asked
me for a guest post, i started work on that. Later on decided, the
recipe that i am going to share is "Cherry Bundt Cake crowned with Honey Almonds". This Cake will go best in parties, holidays, Christmas or in festivals. Lets move to the recipe
