It’s the movie that started a number of careers. Ask any food-truck running in the city and there is a good chance that half of them have been influenced by Chef. At a time when MasterChef in its numerous avatars is ruling over our TV screen and Eat […]
Some of you might be aware that I love films (and TV series) to the extent that I spend a considerable amount of my time and my earnings on watching them. In fact, before I took on to writing about food, I polished my still non-existent writing skills […]
There’s no smoke without fire they say, and I’m glad that the chef’s fiery passion to cook good food is still burning bright over at Smoke House Deli in DLF Promenade, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi. Elegance, charm, class and one of the best services I’ve come across in […]
I’ll be honest – I always am on the blog but just to reiterate the fact – in saying that off late I’ve become wary of small establishments that have cropped up in the hundreds across the city, mainly doing deliveries, having limited seating, with an atmosphere that […]
Eating at Kyoto is a humbling experience. Kyoto being not the Japanese city, but a small restaurant in Gurgaon serving, you guessed it, Japanese food. It’s a quiet place in all respects; the guests are subdued, the decor is simple, the service is gentle. It’s a restaurant where […]
The problem with any good idea is that there are always people ready to jump onto it without a second thought. Food Trucks are catching up and we’ve been lucky so far as to have a good to excellent collection of those. How long before a “bad” one […]
There are very few places that I look forward to re-visiting. With so many choices and new restaurants opening regularly, it’s becoming difficult to convince family members and friends to visit a place they’ve eaten at before. Everyone wants to try a new place and be seen at […]
I’ll admit I’m not one to order food for home-delivery on a normal basis. It’s only ever reserved for Pizza or when unexpectedly guests arrive. Out of pure experimentation, a little bit of research for a post I am doing, and because I had a few online food […]
It’s festival season here in India and with all the Diwali and Dusshera Melas happening around the country, why should Food take a back seat. As a result, we have not one, not two, but four big Food Festivals happening in the Delhi-NCR region and this is not […]
The Ramen Girl has a lot of potential that unfortunately falls flat due to its weak female lead. Brittany Murphy (Abby) plays an American woman who ends up in Tokyo, Japan to visit her boyfriend who shortly afterwards leaves her. Left in a foreign location, she struggles with […]
I’m going to say this flat out right in the beginning; I don’t see the big deal about restaurant buffets. Buffets are meant for huge gatherings, marriages, birthdays, and maybe they are somewhat suitable for breakfasts as well, but they are meant for where the idea is to […]
Every since I started posting pictures of food I was cooking and “playing” with, I would occasionally get a request for the recipe. Sadly, I’m not a recipe person and because I don’t follow recipes myself, I find it very hard to write them up even if I […]
Since the aim of the blog is to talk about all aspects of the food and drink industry, it’s only apt that I start including, occasionally, film and book reviews/mentions that predominantly revolve around food. To start off, I have chosen Jiro Dreams of Sushi which is a […]
I wrote this piece below (in italics) a few years back. At the time I was writing about films and travel and I never thought I would ever talk about food. I didn’t think I could. I started food blogging roughly eight months back. I had written a […]
A 100 Dessert Buffet. Say it again, a 100 Dessert Buffet. You need to say it a few times before the enormity of it all sinks in. That’s one hundred, not fifty, not seventy five, not even ninety nine, but a hundred desserts laid out to eat.
