Thank You To Chandru, Neha and Meghna, for being so patient and supportive, while I was trying to complete this web-site. To all of you, my family and friends,  for all the wonderful recipes, and tips and tricks I learned through the years. To Mummy for letting us cook in her kitchen (and mess it up) even when  we were very young. To Daddy for being the discerning taster and critic. To Esther and Bel who suffered through all my experiments and idiosyncrasies, (especially when making the wedding cakes) To Amma (my mother-in-law, Kasturi Nayak), for all the Konkani recipes she painstakingly wrote out for me. To Maya, who through the years has been a proud supporter of my myriad projects. To everyone else who shared recipes… Aunty Merlyn, Aunty Rissa, Aunty Myrtle, Aunty Clef, Aunty Sheila, Uncle Loy and Felcy, Aunty Faru, Astrid, Audrey, Shagufta, Nicola, Yasmin, Laxmi  and anyone else who I may have inadvertently missed.  And finally, to my nice cousin,  Harnisch, for patiently answering all my questions, and generally helping me out with the web-site.
