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…

Of puff pastries, stuffed vegetables and floating islands
Have I ever mentioned my French flatmate (now ex-flatmate sadly enough)? And have I mentioned she’s an amazing cook? Yes, I have! This broadcast (or blogpost; let’s not get picky) is here to tell you – yet again – that she is brilliant! For starters, there were vegetable puff pastries with fresh salad on the side….
I’ll take you to the Donut shop
View Slideshow Download full size (562 KB) Camden Town is a treasure trove for tat and food. This is just one of the many food stalls littering the cobbled streets of the Camden Stables Market and more. Just a teaser of the kind of dee-licious posts I’ll be making this week…
Thyme and Thyme again
As I mentioned in a previous review on the blog, I wanted to go back to Thyme Café! This time, fellow food-blogger, Khadijah Rawat, and I trekked to this little café in Broomhill, Sheffield as I had promised her a fantastic lunch.

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…

We ordered ginger chicken udon (described in their menu as teppan-fried udon noodles with chicken, egg, beansprouts, red and spring onions, mangetout and chilli. garnished with pickled ginger and coriander) and ebi raisukaree (described as prawns stir-fried in a coconut and lime curry sauce with mangetout, peppers,…
Drowning in chocolate and coffee
Every fortnight, my university has a “Free coffee, cake and board games” evening at Coffee Revolution, a coffee shop at the Student Union. I went with two friends today and we unanimously picked these Mississippi mud pies because they looked delicious! And they were! Soft, creamy and chocolate-y with a biscuit base… *licks lips* This…
The best Tiramisu I’ve ever had
Feast your eyes on the best tiramisu I have had till date. And considering I’ve had loads, this is really saying something. I had this on the day I was out celebrating my birthday – and the tiramisu made it oh-so-much better! To get this little treasure, come over to Sheffield, UK and head to…
