I became a foodie when I went on my first ever diet. (:
I can't cook very well, because I'm always too afraid of hot oil burning me, but I love baking!
Hence you'd notice that all my recipes (and all the recipes I've saved into my cookbook) involve baking.
I hope to be able to make fantastic baked rice someday, and am always on the lookout for HEALTHY LOW-CALORIE recipes! (:
Oh, and if you know of any low-calorie indian recipes (I love Indian food, but it seems like they're all very oily and unhealthy..) do share them with me!
