Recipes, Reviews, Food And Travel

My childhood in Kolkata and setting up homes with S in different places like Kolkata, Colombo, Frankfurt and Dubai – have shaped our cooking and moulded our taste-buds. Post-holidays, we are on our own food trips at home, experimenting our newly acquired expertise of the local cuisine fused with our regular cooking. We invent new dishes that are eagerly anticipated by family and friends. Come from Bengal, there are a lot of experiments in our kitchen on Bengali cuisine. My Lady Friday hails from Bicol, a region in Philippines known for it’s spicy cuisine. Needless to say, we love Filipino food too. The other food topic that we are passionate about, is Desserts and Sweets. After-all, Bongs (an ubér-cool term for Bengalis) are genetically predisposed to being sweet-addicts! If you read more about me, you will understand how food and travel has shaped my life.

Dubai is my adopted home currently, while Kolkata holds a lot of nostalgia. My Dubai and Kolkata diaries often overlap.
