It’s been a year already!

Yes, EgglessCooking.com has turned one today. When I started it, I was not much of a baker. My baking experience was limited only to Indira’s Banana and Carrot cake. I had tried that cake a couple of times with various modifications. I would say that the continued success from trying that recipe only kindled my passion for baking. Even though I was visiting her blog regularly, at that time I didn’t know that it was a blog and there were so many other food blogs maintained by people passionate about baking and cooking. While exploring her blog I saw the food blogs list. I started visiting each and every blog in search of eggless baking recipes, bookmarked as and when I found any. While doing this I realized that there were many people out there searching for eggless recipes. One day I got this idea, why not put all the eggless recipes I have collected so far under one page so it would be helpful for others too. My husband liked the idea too.
Then I contacted Shilpa and Indira to know more about this food blogging. Both gave me positive feedback. Since Shilpa was on her vacation then, I contacted Indira for further inputs. She was very kind enough to help me with the beginner’s stuff. Not only that she also spoke about my blog in her blog, which really got the word going. I really owe you a big one Indira. I also have to thank Bee for letting me know about TOI RSS feed. That also made a huge impact. Dee, my heartfelt thanks to you too for your invaluable suggestions and also for enriching my life with your pure friendship.
Next I have to thank my husband for helping me in so many different areas. Actually helping is a very small word. He literally took over/care of the technical stuff, marketing and mainly photography. I’m not exaggerating when I say that he has invested more time than me in this blog.
How can I forgot my food blogging buddies and other visitors who shower me with their generous compliments! I thank each and everybody from the bottom of my heart.
I wanted to post some recipe today, but instead I’m going to follow Indira’s footsteps and would like to introduce Payal here. She too bakes eggless cakes and I’m floored by her cake decorating skills. It’s really difficult to believe that those beautiful cakes are egg free. Also she uses easily available ingredients to bake these cakes. Check it out.

Happy Blogoversary, Madhu! Sorry, I missed it yesterday.
I often take a peek at your blog for ideas, since I don’t use eggs in my kitchen. I hope you carry on blogging for many many years to come.
Thank you very much Deepika.
