Thulp it down
The name by itself is enough to get you to want to know more. It’s awesome when chefs tap into their interests and then translate that creatively onto a plate ! You and me then get to be the lucky beneficiaries of such an adventure ! That’s exactly how I would describe the experience at […]
Holiday Hot Chocolate
This one just ticks all the right boxes for me. It was number 1 on my indulgences. What makes it even more special was ,that, I had no idea what I was getting and the way it was going to be packaged !!! Picture this ,it was a cold Sunday morning in Bangalore. It could […]

Blessed to live 2 and a half hours away from the majestic Nilgiris,the Blue mountains that beckon and force you to linger and savour all that it has to offer.

Sunday Santhai
Sunday Santhai…an interesting enough name that got me curious to venture out on a Sunday morning…when the day dawned,it was with a fair amount of hesitation that I continued on with my agenda…to visit the new initiative of a ‘Sunday Santhai'(sunday market…a concept quite popular in the earlier years,still practiced in villages and is also […]
BBC Good Food India
The first time my mom sent me an edition of the BBC India Good Food magazine,I was hooked…. and have been an ardent reader ever since they launched in India in 2012. So many of their recipes are so versatile and at the same time the amount of information that they pack into a single […]
Terra Earth Food
It’s heartening to see ‘food consciousness’ growing in leaps and bounds around us.Foods that are parents and grandparents ate every day have almost disappeared from our diet today ! Thankfully there are initiatives taken,like the one by Terra earthfood,to bring back to our table almost forgotten grains and flavours. Thanks to the bazaar organised by […]
