Guest Hosting EP Series for month of December

Hi Friends,

Welcome to this month's EP series guest hosted by Spicenflavors for the month of December. First of all I would like to say a big thanks to Julie for giving me the opportunity to host this event.

Spices are the very essence of food and we all know they give flavour to our dishes.This month we will be talking about the benefits of turmeric and garlic. Any dish that has fresh garlic totally enhances the taste buds and almost all cuisines use garlic to a large extent in their dishes. 

Health benefits of turmeric are so many and it also gives the dish a beautiful glow and colour. The number of dishes that use either or both of these spices are endless. So I am looking forward to many entries. Enjoy this month's event and share recipes of your favourite dishes could be starters, vegetarian & / or non-vegetarian dishes, Italian dishes, Chinese dishes etc.

1. The event runs for the period of 1st - 31st December 2012.

2.The theme for this month is "Garlic and Turmeric".You can  also use any one spice in a dish or use both but that ingredient should be one of the main ingredients. It can vary from starter,main dish ,dessert or any other recipes,sweet or savoury anything.( recipes which don't follow this rule will not qualify for the event)
