Announcing Serve it series & Serve - it: Chilled

I started my blog - 'Oh Taste n See' in May 2010, as a way of This month marks my blog's first anniversary. I am excited about the journey that this has been, I have now posted - 307 posts, have 1062 comments from dear friends and fellow bloggers, and have had close to 7000 visitors(plus about 50,000 visitor in the old wordpress.com site). I wouldn't have continued this passion of mine, if not for the support from friends, foodies and fellow bloggers. So, a big 'Thank You' to all of you lovely people.

I am also happy that my friend Krithi, had also started a food blog: Krithis Kitchen, and what more joy than sharing a passion with a dear friend. To celebrate my anniversary and also as a way of sharing our friendship with fellow foodies, we have come up with a new event: 'Serve It' , a monthly series that would focus on a cooking technique that would be relevant for the season.

Krithi and I would alternatively be hosting this event @ Krithis Kitchen and Oh Taste n See respectively. This month, being the anniversary month will be hosted at Oh Taste n See.
