a media & food bloggers meet at The Oberoi for an exclusive
display and tasting session of the seven varieties of the

Ms Rebecca Baerveldt Lyons from the Washington
Apples Commission.

function coz of which I was unable to make it ,but the Washington
Apple Commission India office was kind enough to send me
all the information on the varieties & usage along with a
gift box of the samples .

into a cool summer salad . Their mellow flavors & juicy inner flesh
could not resist me from some healthy baking too ......
