Celebrations of Life

Like I’ve mentioned many times before, India is incredibly festive as a country; we look for reasons to cook, dress up and celebrate with everyone around. Many of these recipes are an indication of the region you belong to and the season the celebration is in. Since I have lived in Bombay since I was…

Fancy A Break?

A more traditional Indian breakfast, depending on the region you come from, is light yet filling. You’d barely find many people consuming cornflakes back in the days, but now our on-the-fast-lane life is making corn our first meal. (Pretty much like beefing up cattle to be slaughtered. Ironic, isn’t it?) To get kids eating some…

True Love

I have never understood how a foodie is described socially. I love trying out different things, but sadly I have a small stomach. So I can eat a lot of different things, but not a lot in quantity. My gastronomic journey in Bangalore has been disappointing to say the least. One of my favorite things…

Anyway, we celebrate…

Whenever I feel intensely homesick, my tongue yearns for familiar flavors that remind me of my childhood and my hometown. But this one trip in Hyderabad with close friends was a discovery in itself. After devouring…

Choco Art

OK I know many of you are drooling over the yummy pastries at the edge of the picture. Don’t worry, I will be putting up more nuggets later this week. But that chocolate tower made me smile. After all, chocolate is my happy food!

Setup Your Platter

One of the good things about deciding toppings and ingredients of the food you eat is that the tendency to waste anything edible is that much lesser. This place at the local mall lets you customize your pasta completely, you can pick the type of pasta and what goes inside, along with the sauce. Being…
