Food is a religion in Eastern part of India, more so in Bengal. If Chefs are to be considered God’s of this religion then Food Bloggers are the Messiahs. Messengers who visit the various worship pockets to bring to us each minute and every detail of the hidden ingredients which our naked eyes can’t visualize but the sensitive palates of these Messiahs can taste and identify. They invest valuable time to understand each of these ingredients and unfold the mystery behind each food. Therefore it’s time we show our gratitude to these Messiahs and thank them in our unique way and recognize them for the message they unscramble for us.
