Kolkata Food Bloggers' Birthday Bash- The Potluck Party

Celebration needs no introduction, time or date, mainly when you have a fabulous group of like minded people whose one and only focus is towards Food, Food and Food. So we are the KFBians, always gleeful to grab such opportunity which will give some quality time to spend with each other - eating, clicking and giggling. Ok, this time we did have something special to celebrate. Not only special but an Especial occasion - Our KFB group turned ONE this year on 27th Jan'14. We didn't waste much time, booked one weekend just prior to 27th (as 27th falls on Monday) and got set ready for a fabulous Potluck Party. Awesome Food, Awesome people and of course a perfect venue that our dear Archita and her hubby offered us- their house, which was not less than a lovely resort. The duo was the perfect host and hostess of that afternoon who actually made the party successful. Thanks a lot  Archita and  Abhishek.

When we reached the venue, we were straight way directed to the pretty green garden that proudly treasures the house.  We found two KFBians' hubbies were working hard to get the right flame to set the BBQ to grill the Kababs that Archita had already kept ready. The garden got spontaneous with the chirps of the KFBians and the party dishes slowly started to unveil themselves. 

For the starters we had Fish cake made by Anwesha, Chicken Kababs and Dahi Fuchkas (Gol Gappe) by Archita and some chips with dips. The Fish cake for us was a real surprise as we all expected some kind of patty looking stuff. But what Anwesha stated that this was particularly her Moms recipe. No need to say taste wise it owned all of our hearts. But the real stunner starter of the day was the Kababs.  I have never tasted so yammy Kababs in my life, not even in the restaurant. It was soft, succulent and a perfectly blend of all spices. 

The Kids as well as the adults started taking full advantage of a day off where one can only indulge in playing, chatting, cracking jokes and giggle with his/her heart out. As we all were foodie there, one thing kept on simultaneously running along with everything was chomping, munching and gulping. 

We came to the most precious moment to cherish when we all blow the candle, sang the Happy Birthday song and cut the cake. Yours truly made the Blueberry Cheese Cake topped with Chocolate ganach. I am blushing to say that everybody praised a lot after having the cake..:D
