Zimble Yummy Black Pomfret Curry

Just back from a weeks travel through a couple of south Indian cities. The abundant monsoon of the last couple of months seems to have retreated and has been replaced by a balmy but welcome heat and a gentle breeze. Though busy with non-stop travel and meetings one has to stop to admire the plethora of food aromas that waft through the busy city roads, especially when one passes by the busier parts of the city like the bus stands and the railway stations. Trivandrum at one end of India can be the start of a life long passion for marvelling at the variety and diversity of food.

Its Green – Lets go.

Weekend Loaded Spinach salad

There is nothing to start off a great lazy weekend meal than a crunchy salad full of flavor, color and aroma. The right kind of salad gets the system going…. as John Fowles may have put it

            “Eyes, nose took in their fill, 

             Tongue drooled in anticipation;  

             Brain treasured up the whole”.

Weekend Orange and Almond Cake

Desserts are the best part of any meal in my opinion. It brings the whole experience of dining to a wonderful end, while ensuring that the conversation still flows. Whether it be the Perfect pie or flan ,Glorious Gateaux, Magical Meringues or all Manner of Mousses, there’s always  an air of expectancy after a meal even if we are all so full….
