Cauliflower Pickle

As you all might have noticed the frequency of my posts has been slow these days, the reason is loosing the luxury of Nanny. Oh Yeah, it is tough to keep up with kids, cooking, photography and posting. So from now onwards you will see 1 or 2 recipes per week in my space. Our Nanny is so wonderful, my little one still asks everyday 'Where is Nanny?' my son tries to explain her that she is in her own home. It is so much fun always for me to hide and listen to my kids conversation.
