About Meena Arunachalam
When I asked Meena to introduce herself she gave such a simple and humble introduction as follows..
"Hello everybody, I am mother of two boys. Cooking is my passion ,I like to try lot of different recipes, and finally settled to try more traditional recipes. I started cooking to impress my 9 year old son. He is a very good critic. My interest in cooking has grown as they want to try different food much bored by the same routine food.
I have known Divya's space recently, I liked and tried many of her non-veg recipes which were more traditional, more like my granny's. I am so happy that I found a good blog and friend. Like the way she explains and gives extra notes, more helpful and confident to try. Needles to mention her reply to our comment is more faster, I was way too impressed by the way she acknowledges the visitor of her blog. She is very sweet and lovely person. She has been my inspiration for many things. I was indeed surprised, happy and delighted when she said she is going to publish my recipe in her blog. Thanks Divya. "
