My Recipes in Jelita Magazine, March 2012!...♥

Publishing own recipes in a local magazine is surely every food blogger's dream. So do mine...but the person who really encouraged me from the start is none other than my beloved Hubby! He had always wanted my recipes with photos to be published in any local mags. He infact asked me to try a few, and I kept postponing his wishes. Fearing it's not easy at all to fight my way through among famous food bloggers in Malaysia alone.

Some where mid last year, I emailed my Buttermilk Fried Chicken recipe with photo to another local food mag, SEDAP and it got published few months after, that too I was informed by fellow blogger, Kak Che CT. Frankly, I didn't make any attempt after that...hihi :)

When Ms Norashikin from JELITA, a local Malay mag messaged me last month (a day after I was discharged from hospital due to finger surgery), telling her intention to feature few recipes from my blog in their mag, I jumped in joy! Of course any food blogger will say yes when a famous Mag contacts them!!! I happily informed my Hubby about the invite and he readily answered me "Carry on, go ahead send your photos!" ;)

I then replied her on my health condition and she was very understanding about it. She requested me to send the original photos of the recipes which she chose (Indian recipes) and she'll do the recipe translation part from English to Malay. She was that helpful...

I managed to find the original photos from my old lappy and emailed her. Then onwards, I was just waiting for the official publish. And here they are...published in their March issue.

5 of my recipes were published in their issue. And they are Mutton Masala, Yoghurt Chicken Curry, Squid Curry, Chicken Varuval and Spiced Lassi. I've posted all these recipes in my blog before.

They also featured 3 other blogs in Food Blogs (Ulasan Blog) segment. And they are, Kak Nur's My Little Kitchen, Noor Masri's Coretan Dari Dapur and Pepy's Indonesia Eats. Congratulations friends!!!

So honoured sharing the mag space with Ms Ezani, our very own first Master Chef Malaysia and another food blogger whose food pictures will make you fall in love at first sight...Kak Azlita Aziz, from her blog Masam Manis who shared various fish recipes too. I will update the images as soon as I receive the screen shots from Norashikin :)

I take this opportunity to thank all my fellow blogging friends who've been truly supportive from day one I started blogging till now. And without readers, Love2cook Malaysia is absolutely incomplete! Thank you so much for your endless support and comments and also for trying out my recipes. Never thought I would have remained in bloggywood for this long.

Heartiest thank you to JELITA, especially Ms Norashikin for such an opportunity, you've been really kind! Hope we'll work together again next time ye Shikin...haha! :)

Last but not the least, My Hubby...thank you for everything dear!!! Muaaacks!!! :D

This is for you...for being with Love2cook Malaysia!
