2007: A Year in Food
It seems strange to wake up and finally realize as I turn to my planner, that we are finally in 2008. Over the past few weeks, I have been juggling around dinner parties, last-minute deadlines, surprise holiday guests, and not to mention shopping for gifts for family and friends! As I sit back now, a steaming cup of hot coaco in hand, it suddenly dawned on me that I had quite an eventful and experimental year in 2007 in relation to food. And otherwise also.
Here are some of my favourite picks from the year just past. If you haven’t tried them as yet, then I’d truly suggest you head on and get started, else you may not be able to catch up. Because, seeing as how tremendous 2007 turned out, I have an strong inkling that 2008 will bring with it many, many more delicious treats from my kitchen to yours!
And finally, a few of my 2008 resolutions for hookedonheat.com:
- More original South Asian fusion recipes.
- Introducing new features, as well as continuing old favourites including Indian Cooking 101, Interviews and Cookbook Reviews.
- A proper printable compilation of all the recipes and food photographs of hookedonheat.com.
So, what are your food resolutions for 2008?

I’m going through each and every one of those links! Potato Parcels look so perfect. I bet they’d go really well with Cilantro Chutney

I simply love visiting your site for such incredible recipes and cool photos…. I have bookmarked so many to cook but not yet finished at least one.
Happy New Year!

I made several of your dishes, including the Ginger Chili Shrimp and the Red Chili Chicken. They were amazing. Please keep posting! I love your site and the photographs.

Your recipes not only inspire me…they make me hungry!

My food resolutions:
1. Finding time for more mouthwatering blog-browsing (such as yours!)
2. Allowing myself and the Boy one ‘experimental’ session in the kitchen every week (I can lean to far into the ‘if it’s not broken, don’t fix it’ school…)
3. Making the effort to trace more of the the rarer/now-less-fashionable foods of my own country (I’m keeping a keen eye out for moringa flowers at the moment…)

My resolution is to try 3 new recipes every month. And this blog will be a great resource!
January 28th, 2008 02:36
my resolution is just to blog more…and to remember to bring my camera with me when I go out to eat…I’ve missed so many blogging opportunities just because of that!

Hi meena,
I’ve been a long-time lurker and have filed many of your recipes and even tried some, with excellent results. More than anything, there’s something about your blog that makes me visit again and again, and it has to do with your spirit and attitude that comes across in your writing. I was wondering what happened to you this year, no new posts? I’ve been checking almost daily with the hope that there’ll be something new…if not to cook, but at least to read! So keep posting regularly…I do hope everything is alright over there! Take care, and a very happy new year!

Hi Meena-
I resolve to do as Michael Pollen says (eat food, not much and mostly plants). I think your fantastic site is really going to give my a lot of help. Oh, yeah, I also resolve to make more indian food (ditto).
God Bless,
Suzie

Hi this is Ginger again, you have been tagged my fellow blogger, check out my blog for more details! Many gluten free bloggers read my blog and I am always referring to Indian cooking and your blog, so I am hoping they will all get the Indian cooking bug!
Cheers!

Oh, finding you is a treat! We have been looking to learn so much more about Indian cuisine and you’ve got so much fantastic, modern cuisine information here. Wish we had found you earlier, but it’s still never too late to learn from you!
I’m glad I can be of help White. I look forward to your feedback on the recipes you’ve tried. Happy cooking!
