Everyone loves food made by grandma as they are filled with so much love and affection. As a child, I always waited for my summer holidays so that I can spend time with my grandparents and enjoy those goodies. The happiness is opening up that box filled with goodies and the smell itself is captivating. I have used a Vaya food storage container and simply love it! I can store freshly cooked curry or rice too in it and it stays warm for 4-6 hours. I can use it as an ice-cream box too!
