Are you party person? so am I. I love hosting parties and entertaining my guests with variety of foods. And summer is a great season for party. Barbecue parties are very famous in this season. Beside barbecue I love to serve some munching, like different kind of chips or crispy veggies with delicious dips. I really like adding basil, mint and coriander leaves in various dips.
