On Giving Credit Where It Is Due ...

Back in English class, we learned about plagiarism, which means the act of copying someone else's thoughts and ideas and taking credit for them. I have never been a plagiarist and I do not want to start now. In this post, I want to give credit where it is due.

Despite what some people may think after looking at my recipes or pictures, I am not that creative when it comes to being in the kitchen. Throughout these past several months, I have gotten many ideas and recipes from other people's blogs. I spent so much of my free time and energy trying to research innovative menu items. Many times I wrote down recipes where ever and when ever I could find some place to jot them down, but I never wrote out which "food blog" was the source of my inspiration.

Below are just a few of the links to food blogs that I have browsed through. I hope they can be helpful to some of you to find your own recipes.

www.showmethecurry.com

thespicewholovedme. blogspot.com
www.hookedonheat.com
www.monsoonspice.com
onehotstove.blogspot.com
www.sanjeevkapoor.com (just click on Khana Khazana and then Recipes)

Check them out for yourself! I am a regular peaker at these blogs, and I often feel guilty of plagiarizing, even though I am not if I change a few ingredients around.
I also sometimes Google image recipes and build my own recipe from there.

So, I'm not
sure if this qualifies me as "foodie" blogger, but I guess I do not mind. I mean I do love food and I love to write about it! Now, that this is off my chest, I feel so much better.
