Getting back to the guest post lets see what she has to say!!

Hi Guys....  I am Monu Teena from Pakistan. Recently blogging on RecipesPassion. Well to me cooking is more than a passion for me. I am one of those who are inspired from nature which has a huge reflection on my cuisines. I try to keep the royal traditional essence in my cuisines. And, I also try to blend colors with smell to create a new taste. Because what you eat is what you are.

I have a vast experience in cooking, baking since I was only 10. It’s been almost 16 years passed. But I still call myself a learner. I would love to have your recommendation & suggestions.

Other than my passion, I am Engineer by profession and a student of MBA.

 I met Aara for the first time on blogger. And I was invited for a guest post by her.
