Something about Salads!!

Last week had a cousin's lunch at Bombay Salad Company, Bandra.  Was really  impressed with the menu and the range of salads on offer. We  picked the salads that  sounded particularly interesting- The Hipster and the Yogi... unusual names and very interesting  ingredients. Have to say both were: WOW!

The Yogi- Kale,Couscous, Orange, Carrot, Pomegranate, Beetroot, Almonds and Dijon thyme vinaigrette

The Hipster -  Kale, Quinoa,  Orange , Cranberries,  Carrot,  Pomegranate and mixed seeds

Innovation in food is reaching new heights!

Innovation in food is reaching new heights! Got an innovative gift from a friend yesterday to announce the arrival of her grand daughter! A basket in the shape of a baby crib carrying ice cream cones, two small glass jars of hands made ice cream, rice crispier and fruit pebbles... All with cute labels and decorations... Delivered by courier and with care!

 

Chocolate Toffee Pudding at Sassy Spoon

Loved the absolutely delicious Chocolate Toffee Pudding at Sassy Spoon, Bandra over the weekend. The base was a combination of soft chocolate and coconut.. It just melted in the mouth. Was not very sweet and the vanilla ice-cream topping enhanced the taste perfectly. Definitely recommend it.
