Yummy lunch at Salt Water Cafe, Bandra

Had a nice girl cousins' lunch at Salt Water Cafe, Bandra yesterday. The meal was truly delicious and satisfying. We began with mushroom and barley soup and followed it up with assorted tomato, watermelon and mozzarella salad, Buckwheat crepe with cheese fondue and vegetable risotto.. Each dish was yummy. The meal ended with a rich chocolate melt-in-the-mouth cake.

Savor the delicate fragrance of fresh green garlic!

Winter is the time to use fresh/green Garlic in food. It gives the food an excellent mild, fresh flavour. Try making the Paniwala Gajar ka Achar with fresh garlic! You will love it!

Japanese Treat!!!

Have spent a few days in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka and deeply impressed by the Japanese way of presetation in evrything and specially food. The quality of confectionery in all places has been great. Today in Osaka, at the Hotel Granvia, had some yummy cakes, so exquisitely presented that we didn't feel like biting into them!
