I throw the gauntlet down: I am, without a doubt, the most passionate chocoholic food blogger in UAE. I love chocolate. It loves me (on the hips no less). Little did I know I was nearly going to drown in it. Really. During the Eid break, I decided to boldly go where I have not gone…

As I melted into little puddles of delight amidst a chocolate haze…
Chocolate + coffee = a bouncy, happy and very satisfied me. I had recently gone to USA as part of a press trip organized by Kohler, and apart from the press conferences and roundtable discussions the journalists were treated to…there was also a whole lot of food. One of the places that has firmly ensconced…
The Brownie Experiment aka the first time I baked
It started when I was 3 (or perhaps it started way before that, but my first sentient memory is when I was 3. It wasn’t of food but of sitting in the toilet, telling my Mom I wanted to…uhhh…oh right…food blog). Let’s try this again…It started when I was 3. I remember my Mom making…
Dessert Dedication
When you’re in a bad mood, or you just need to celebrate… When you’re frustrated with where you are in life, or you’ve achieved something outstanding… When you’re mourning the absence of someone from your life, or ecstatic because of someone’s presence… …there’s always dessert. Gallery 1: Ice cream from Baskin Robbins Gallery 2:…
A chocolate addict’s heaven: Chocopologie
[2017 EDIT: This venue is now closed] I had to scope out Chocopologie for a piece I was writing for Jazeera magazine and decided I might as well make a meal out of it. Yasmin, of Red Panda Bakes fame (you can find her on Twitter here) was giving me company; perhaps the best person…
Drown in decadent, thick, rich and sexy chocolate
Look fearfully off the precipice…wonder if you’ll be able to survive the fall? Take a nimble step, dip your toe in the richness of it all. Inhale as the chocolate flows through your veins. Take a leap of faith. Drown in decadent, thick, rich and oh-so-sexy chocolate. Note: Chocolate cake from Zaatar W Zeit is…
Stuffing my face in Camden
Picture courtesy @eddydubai That was me at the end of a particularly exciting day in Camden. To be fair, this happened many months ago and I’ve been extremely lazy and haven’t posted this on the blog…so my memory might be a little sketchy. Forgive me. My friend @eddydubai and I were traipsing around Camden this…
The 7 Deadly Sins hot chocolate by Whittard UK
I love hot chocolate. I love Whittard of Chelsea (the stores in UK anyway, not the Dubai café versions). So when I saw their Seven Deadly Sins Hot Chocolate gift box…what’s a girl got to do except buy it? To be fair, I asked my Mom to check if they had the same box in…
Strawberries. Chocolate. Whipped Cream. And a waffle.
Loving small cafés in London. This was DELICIOUS! A hot waffle topped with whipped cream and stawberries and hot chocolate poured on top. What’s not to like?
Indulging at Shamiana, Taj Mahal Palace
When I’m in Bombay, I have to go to the Taj Hotel – it’s a ritual and my aunt always takes me. For the first time however, I did not go to The Sea Lounge, which is the only place I frequent there. Their chocolate truffle cakes are absolutely brilliant. This time though, my aunt…
