Carrot Pecan Loaf...

This is a recipe shared by my very good friend Renu.

Though she is a classical singer and an artist of sorts, food has always been of great interest to her. Her kitchen has a shelf full of recipe books and she loves to cook a variety of cuisines.  

I hope to share some more of her recipes with you. For now, you must try this one….

As Renu says ….. if u want to indulge have a slice with white butter !
