especially for his students who have so gladly followed him in his culinary journey.
I want to also thank the following foodies
who have supported and encouraged
me to keep on spilling out my...
personal pleasures and foodistic passions.
First and Foremost...
My one and only Mommy who has given birth to all this enthusiastic creativity!
Your strength, support and encouragement gave me the drive to follow my journey!
Certainly not second...the primary love of my life.
Through countless subliminal messages...
my best friend and life partner has continued to encourage
my creativity in the kitchen by his delightful and expressive appreciation.
His constructive critisms are always gently and kindly rolled my way.
He certainly fuels my challenge to always improuve on what I love best!

The very charmingly enthusiastic Claudia
at Journey of an Italian cook
was kind enough to award me this badge of recognition.
We have come to enjoy each others visits enormously.
There are just some people you naturally click with.
She's just a wonderful, appreciative human being.
Did I mention what a great cook she is too!
***
Ms. Sutapa from India at Tips for delicious Eating
was gracious enough to extend her appreciation of my
culinary journey by sending me this recognition.
Although not long since we've been enjoying each others distinctive cuisines...
Sutapa has certainly made her place where it counts...with great wholesome food.
I enjoy looking forward to her next concoctions!
Sweet Ms. Brittany from Australia finds herself deeply dedicated
to sharing her kitchen creation on ' Rêves d'une Boulangère ' culinary blog.
I have to mention that I was quite taken by surprise when I found out that such
a vibrant young lady could be so passionate about cooking and baking
all the while keeping up with her studies.
Brittany has a dream to go be a Parisian (at least for a few days)
...most probably, like others also do ;o)
Here's wishing that she realizes her dream.
Thank you Brittany for sending me the 'One Lovely blog award'.
I'm very pleased to be following your path too.

Ms. Kristy...my Malaysian Foodie friend from My Small Space
(a.k.a. Kristy Gourmet)...who has supported me from the very start
has shown her appreciation in the form of an award today.
Kristy, not only takes the time to dedicate herself to her family but also takes
her passions of her kitchen moments to the cyber world for us to witness.
She is truly a star blogger in my book!
Lately Roxana (a.k.a. Greengirl) and I have had...
a chance to discover each other's food journals.
She was kind enough the spoil me with an award.
Getting to know her creations in the kitchen have amused me quite a lot...
especially in this amazing Chocolate cheesecake.
So much love and dedication shines through this decadent dessert.
Looking forward to discovering much more of her talents.
A generous thank you to the very passionate team:
Alisha, Adam and Grely...
at The Ardent Epicure (a.k.a. Magic Spice).
Their dedication to the preparation and artistic creativity embracing...
their meals is worthy of some of the top culinary blogs.
What has captured me most is the story boards that describe their delicious recipes.
Bravo to this united team for truly representing the...
'Ode to the pleasures of food'!

I'd also like to thank Chaya at 'My Sweet and Savoury'
for sending me such a lovely award such as the circle of friends badge.
We haven't known each other long, however, we seem to have quickly
grown a fondness for each other through our respective culinary adventures.

The hard working, family oriented Claudia from What's Cookin Italian style cuisine
may reside in the U.S.A. however, has deeply rooted origins from Italy.
She’s very passionate and dedicated to feeding her family and friends
through her delicious creations in from her kitchen.
Her ancestors must be dancing around her since she has them
very close to her heart. I truly enjoy my visits with her.
Thank you for mentioning my journey on your list of Foodie friends ;o)

The charming, witty and very enthusiastic Ms. Parsley Sage from...
the Grand Cayman had not long ago discovered my culinary journey.
From her charming blog the Deep Dish...
she awarded me with this World Bloggers badge.
I've come to realize that what we both share in common is our love of living to eat.
We actually do plan our vacations around where to have great food.
If that's not Sisterhood, what is?

Elisabeth from S. Florida has a great gathering place for...
how food is appreciated from her home to yours.
After having cooked professionally for 30 years,
she has decided to prioritize her love for food with her family and friends.
She has just recently discovered my little culinary lab and
has kindly awarded me with this badge.
Thanks for your appreciative and kind words.
Going for a visit to her blog Food and Thrift Finds will be a pleasure
as well as an enlightenment of different food preparations.

Not too long ago this lovely Little Housewife came to pay me an honorary visit.
I’ve been a fan of hers not only because she knows what she’s doing in the kitchen...
but, also because she seems to genuinely embrace her chosen vocation.
She’s the cookie monster’s spouse and the CEO of her household.
She’s raising her daughter; only the most important job in the world...
and she proudly shares that with us.
She has a great appreciation for most things with history...as do I.
Her mildly exotically created citrus cake is on my list to do.
I’m always trilled when fellow bloggers like her push the spatula a little more to create a recipe of her own...especially a dessert...mummmy!

Important note...
to my fellow Foodie bloggers...
who have travelled with me on my journey so far:
Up to now, the FOODIES I've been admiring and respect...
have already been awarded most of the badges found on this page.
If you have been one of the NEW bloggers that I've been
visiting and commenting frequently on...
please take note of the following:
As most of my fellow bloggers can relate to...
keeping up with the recognizing and appreciating as well as...
re-distributing these awards can be overwhelming at times.
Due to non-blogging schedules, producing quality posts as well as...
making sure that our personal lives don't get abandoned in the process...
I've been forced to make a hopefully acceptable decision.
We can all find direction to deal with this type of networking in our own personal way.
For now, this is my way to share my appreciation:
If one of these recognition badges has not been awarded to you by anyone else,
then, by all means, feel free to grab a badge to add to your awards list...you deserve it ;o)
Thank you for understanding and for allowing me to express myself freely.
