Acknowledgement

Throughtout this great and unique experience of creating recipes and publishing this book, several people have inspired me and given me the courage to work towards my dreams. Most importantly, many thanks go to God for making it possible to create the 56 Bhogs.

I am indebted to and thankful to Mrs. Kokilaben Patel and Mr C.B. Patel of Gujarat Samachar, who first identified my talent for creating decorative sweets and have generously helped me publish this book. A special thanks to all the staff members who worked diligently to fulfill the goals of this book. I thank them especially for their unfailing guidance,support and expertise.

One person who is silently and consistently supportive, she is my cheerleader and provided creative inspiration; she is my best friend, Mrs. Chandrikaben Patel. Words cannot express my gratitude for her help and moral support. I can always count on my friend Mrs. Phalguni Kikani for any new venture I pursue. She is constant support, motivation, and a true guide for me. I appreciate her and her family's support. A very, very special thank you to my husband Harshad and my son Yash for their tremendous help during every step of this book, and to my family members in UK and India.

Thanks to all,
Harsha Mithani
