The Cooking Diva Blog: Original Tropical Creations by Chef Melissa De Leon

2006 Bloggies: Best Latin American Weblog

The Bloggies Winners 2006 have been announced .

We live an era of globalization. Times when love, as well as the economy and politics, are becoming a complete revolution. There are no taboos to judge this or that style. The obsolete beliefs regarding our ethnic origins, sex, religion, countries, likes and dislikes, become a wide spectrum of diversity and universality.

Let's seek together, the universal cuisine of love. A sensual cuisine that marry our traditions, science, modern tendencies, and even technology. Let's do that together, let's leave our hunger for love and peace, nourish our bodies with the best food that we have ever cooked.

Come on, do not be shy! We will be with you all the way to share our knowledge, ideas, adventures, and secret recipes...of course.

Thank you my dear friends and readers for your unconditional support. Thank you also for helping me to open my eyes, understand and see the world the way you do it. That is very important to me.

I am happy, really happy for this award. I proudly accept it and share it with all the bloggers from Latin America and the whole world, specially the ones that work hard every day to be a window to their countries, their passions, and why not...their obsessions.

Happy Cooking!

Melissa (writting from Quito, Ecuador)

Congratulations! That was more than deserve, one of the few choices that the public was right! :)

Your blog is great. It's just a pity but I'm terrible at the kitchen. But I'm much better eating.

Felicidades Cooking Diva! I love stopping by your blog, picking up some tips, reading a bit, going off on a surfing expedition from your links. And then doing it all over again a few days later. Admiro el esfuerzo y el empeño que pones con el blog (I've discovered how hard it is to maintain a blog updated and still have a life away from the PC!) Your blog is tops, and you definitely deserve this recognition. Saludos!!
