TOP 5 CUISINES
- INDIAN: Diversity in food is almost in direct proportion to the diversity in the language, customs and cultures in this country. You can call it as a plate of spices. One major thread through the Indian foods is complex spice blends intended for maximum flavor.
- TURKISH: Turkish people cook every single vegetable in the world and in the tastiest way possible.Turkish cuisine is largely the heritage of Ottoman cuisine. Turkey is also famous for the desserts people make here, and to everyone’s surprise the desserts are free of sugar and must say you can find some of the best desserts here.
- ITALIAN: Pizza is something that is famous all over the globe for its crispy and rich ingredients, you ought to know where it originated from. Yes, this is just one yummy example of Italian cuisine.Home of the pasta and the pizza, Italian food is simple dishes with only a few ingredients but of extraordinary quality. Italians are also known for their fondness of desserts like cheese, cake, ice cream, fruit, sweets and cookies.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
