A 23-years-old dietitian by profession but a foodie at heart! While I love a good salad and a fruit smoothie, I make my fair share of chocolate loaded cakes and cheese-oozing comfort food. I believe in the end, it’s really all about striking a balance. See some of your cravings at Hira’s Foodistan!
