Dear Shilpa,
I have found your site very intresting and very different from other recipes sites. Especially your personal interaction with your users.
Well, I run a Photo contest website for kids - http://www.nanhiduniya.com
Recently I have added a Recipe Contest for Mommies.
I want you to get associated with my website and publish kids or vegetarian recipes.
Or may be answer queries to my users.
In return let me know what I can do for your website. Regarding monetary returns I’m running my website for free and trying to get sponsorship or ads.
Once I start getting ads then only I will be able to pay you.
Kindly reply me back on my email id. whether you are intrested or not.
Thanks ‘n’ Regards

March 25th, 2007 at 9:41 amHi Shilpa:
May 15th, 2007 at 7:07 amI am thrilled to come across your wonderful website. Appreciate all your hard work . It’s an immense help for people like me longing for a taste of some unique Karnataka food. I made the stuffed brinjal dish (ennegayi) and it was mmmmmm…mmmmmm…good. I have a question for you and your readers…are any of the fancy Food Processors (Cuisinart etc.) and Kitchenaid Mixers any good for Indian cooking.Thanks Again!
Suresh,Thanks for your kind words.I use a blendmaster for all my cooking. Even though it is not as good as the Indian mixers, it does a pretty decent job. I have been using it for all my cooking for more than 1 year now.
May 15th, 2007 at 9:48 amIs there a site where I can find and purchase Mangalorean products in the USA ? There used to be a site called mangaloreproducts.com but they seemed to have closed. I am looking for products like “Mirsange Happolu” etc.
July 9th, 2007 at 11:34 amHi,
I have been searching for some recipes (authentic karnataka dishes) and I came across your site. Indeed its awsome. I have added your site as my fav in my blog and also in my browser. Keep the blogs coming..and ofcourse thanks a lot for sharing it all with such passion.

April 24th, 2008 at 2:28 pmThanks for sending me the Bombaylimited.com site. I tried it but all the Mangalorean produsts are “out of stock” and they have no plans of getting any more. Thank you.
Dear Shilpa,
I was quite pleased to find this site giving our Konkana recipes. With advent of working families, chances of recipes getting transferred to next generation is becoming slimmer and hence your website is great service. Have you publised your book of recipes?
Regards,
Subodh
Shilpa: No subdh, I have not published any book so far. Thanks for your kind words.
June 22nd, 2008 at 6:40 pmHello Shilpa,
Do you have added authors to your recipe index or is it that only you and your aayi contribute? I was just curious about this . I would love to contribute one or two articles though I am not an expert as you or your aayi.
In any case you have a great website!
August 9th, 2008 at 10:21 pmShilpa: IC, this is my personal blog and I post something I have tried and tested. So only my mom and I post here. Thanks for the kind words.
