A Year In Review

So it has been one year already for the Gourmet Getaways website! How quickly time flies when you are having fun.

I would like to celebrate by recapping some of my favourite recipes for the year.

Here are my top ten, I have chosen these based on either visitor hits, recognition by a third party such as Foodbuzz or just a sentimental favourite of mine.

every year but this time I decided to make a Christmas Tree centre piece with the

recipe.

This is the nicest savoury dish I have made thanks to Rasa Malaysia for her recipe.
