Love Food Eat

  India’s favorite summer fruit Mangoes are here! We have hundreds of varieties of mangoes and each one them are delicious in their own way. In Bangalore I can get my hands on pretty much any variety of mango from all over India. But there are some wild varieties which never hit the market.   [...]

  I am right now reading ‘The Omnivore’s dilemma‘ by Michael Pollan before which I was reading ‘In defense of food’ by the same writer. I have loved both of these books immensely so far and all I can say is that I will never look at food in the same way again! Something about [...]

  After two weeks of over eating what is that you really crave? In my case it has to be soup. I cook a big pot of soup every time I am looking for comfort. Today my tummy is in desperate need of some soothing soup after the over load of rich, sugary, fatty foods [...]

  When Rushina of ‘A Perfect Bite’ announced the event ‘Terra Madre’, the world slow food day in India, I knew I HAD to participate in it. Slow food is a subject close to my heart and of great interest. I firmly believe that good food is something that one enjoys cooking slowly, with the [...]

I am so exited to be sharing two guest posts with you all within a week! Though my blog is just 6 months old, my love for trying out new food and browsing food blogs is almost a decade old now. One of the first blogs I fell in love with was ‘Monsoon Spice’. In [...]

  I wrote about my attempts to cook fresh, local and seasonal in my last post and I got great response from you all. Thank you so much for all those wonderful comments and e-mails. It really made me happy that people could relate/understand me and appreciate my efforts. In my about page I have [...]
