Apologies for all the whipped cream posts I’ve been making lately. But as you can see, it’s all for a good cause: satisfying my gastronomic desires and making you wish you were with me…and my French flatmate, without whom I doubt I’d be able to do anything of the sort you can see in these…
Going to the Oscars
My friend decided to take me to her favourite Mexican restaurant in London: Oscar’s at Whiteley’s. The decór won points immediately by way of being red and black. And then I ate their food! I had one of their burritos and my friend had the quesadillas. Absolutely yummy stuff. I must say though, I very…
The Cake Extravaganza
Do I really need to say anything else?
What to do when you have leftover cream
My mother’s concoction – the only dessert I can make without fear of messing up.
A Thyme and Place for everything
Election Week in the UK culminated in what I’d call Hung Thursday on 6th May 2010. That was also the day I discovered this little gem: Thyme Café. Perched in Broomhill, Sheffield, this little place has the most brilliant concept ever! The ambience is very relaxed and they have a huge blackboard at one end…
Feast India, Leicester
When I entered Feast India, the first thing I saw was the salad bar to the left. Not because I loved salad, but because it was inside a rickshaw. Yes, you read that right. A rickshaw. On the right was a seating area full of plush chairs and stools, with cricket memorabilia adorning the walls….
Cheese + Baguette = Bliss!
I’d never been interested in types of cheese until I was matched with a French flatmate. To me, cheese meant cheddar and nothing more. Of course, this resulted in my French flatmate gasping at the sacrilege I was committing. She insisted I sample different kinds of cheese and when I protested saying I’d had cheddar…
Barista for a day!
I went for the Barista training class offered by my university and thoroughly enjoyed all 2.5 hours. I made an espresso, a latte, a cappuccino and an iced mocha latte. We could drink what we made but I could only manage a handful of sips for each. Even so, that night I was completely wired!…
I have a French chef for a flatmate :D
Okay not really. But my flatmate is French. And she is an AMAZING chef. She regularly bakes and cooks and generally makes my mouth water. This is just one way to show you the things she gets up to! And those cupcakes were BRILLIANT.
Chocolate Barfi! Kaju Katri! Gajar Ka Halwa! Plain Barfi! Mmmmmm…!
Right, so I already gave away – in the title – what’s in this box! I bought this box of sweets from Royal, a sweets store on Melton Road, Leicester and they taste AMAZING. I haven’t had any Indian sweets for a while, so this store, and in fact, just going to Leicester was a…
