I have often heard people saying ‘Live for moments you cannot put into words’. To he honest We all do it. Sometimes unknowingly but we all do live in the moment, do we not? But now that the world has come to a standstill today, what do you bide with? Memories.. Souvenirs from the past,…
Nutmeg Coated Creamy Toasts
The current state of the world is alarming. Amidst all the scare, sadness and uncertainty we haven’t given up on hope. The hope for a better tomorrow, the hope for a safer tomorrow. While everyone is doing their bit to stay strong, stay safe, I am trying to lift up your mood by sharing a…
A tale of tea
While the entire world is busy declaring their love for Biryani and making memes on it, my mind is fixated on the idea of brewing a good cup of tea. What transfixes me the most is the fact that there are endless stripes of tea or to put it in the correct way there are…
The meatball story
I am dubious about the origin of meatballs in the past. Almost every culture in the world enjoy their own way of preparing meatballs out of ground meat. From the Italian polpette to the Indonesian bakso to the middle eastern Koftas, diverse culinary cultures in the world have their very own wonted way of enjoying it. Meatballs come is…
The Meat Affair
Growing up in a family with mixed culture is a cumbersome task. The miscellany of the two cultures is evident in one’s lifestyle, education and most importantly eating habits.

Well you cannot really get that perfect bake in a microwave unless you know some tricks and knacks to get them right. Here’s sharing…
Churros and Co.
Masterchef Australia was the reason I got introduced to the Churros as a teenager. Well it is not really a household name in India today but back when Masterchef aired in India for the first time we really were not aware of its existence. Since then I have tried making my own batch to smother…
We are one
Hookah or seesha has been quite a rave in the city lately especially among the striplings. I have never been keen on hookah thus barely visited any joint offering it. The few that I have visited willingly or due to peer pressure mostly failed to galvanize me with the food. Well in a joint focusing…
