Dear editor Leonique’s s Pink Princes ! s e Cupcak
Robyn Coldham with her copy of March Ginja Food Magazine
Basically im a “foodie” fanatic and absolutely love food magazines. Always been on the look for something new and different I came across the Ginja Mag. Being a photographer the cover caught my eye straight away and I knew I had to have it in my collection. It is filled with such interesting articles and the recipes are sublime. To make it even more exciting is their facebook page, everyday you look and there is a new recipe that you know you have to try as well as some awesome competitions. All in all you count down the days till the next copy will be out. A big thank you to the Ginja team for such an outstanding job and effort into making an amazing read. I was so taken aback when I won a 3 month subscription from Ginja and am looking forward to entering some more competitions in the future. Cooking is definitely an expression of ones soul.
