RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm an American based in Bangalore, India. In my spare time, I love horseback riding, reading, trying new restaurants, and hitting the gym. I also (naturally) love to cook, and find it a fun challenge to try to prepare some of my US-favorites while I'm here. It's not always successful though; some convenience ingredients don't make it here yet! :) My husband, in-laws, and friends enjoy trying my new creations, especially desserts and anything spicy.
