Cooking with alphabet ‘Y’
We are coming to an end of this month long marathon, with Y as to day’s alphabet we have just one more day to go.The alphabet ‘Y’ was not much of a problem. Infact I had listed out three options, but this recipe kind of attracted me. I am so glad that I tried this recipe as it was a total hit in the family.I made some minor changes to the original recipe and the final result was totally mind blowing.I have put it under party food category, as I know the guest would love this Italian spread.
