My Husband has a soft corner for Japanese Cuisine. So knowing his choice, planning his birthday was really easy for me. I’m sharing some of the recipes I made for him on his Birthday. I tried them for the first time, so was equally excited and tensed. He was happy but more than that, was surprised.
I want to take an opportunity and thank “Vegetarian Times” for helping me with the recipes. It a great magazine for vegetarians.
