The Hidden Table

Introducing Pune’s supper club, The HIdden Table by the Hedonist. Starting the season with the inimitable Chef Gaya and her Ground Up 2.0. Think bahn mis and fermented foods, local ingredients with a twist and the most wholly original menu in the city.

Pondicherry revisited

Six months after my last visit, I wake up one morning and decide I want, no, need, to be back at the Hermit Crab. I want to see those lovely people I met last time, and just spend a quiet weekend in contemplation. To just escape the city.  Feel the sea breeze and taste the salty air. I have to go.

The Viennese Cafe

My week in Vienna is spent in never-ending delight. My beloved friend Dani Wadia showed me her city as we walked endlessly among old buildings, royal palaces, cobbled pedestrian streets, and by the blue Danube. Really, Vienna would have been boring and different without this amazing woman, with her penchant for the offbeat, the quirky and the utterly enchanting……There! I have added epic cafes to my list of gardens, bookstores and libraries to skulk around when abroad. ……Try the offbeat when you are in Vienna.

Fishy Pondicherry 4

What is a seaside holiday without the sea? I tried the local seafood and it is as local as can be! And a delicious homemade Pork Kosha I cant stop dreaming of.

Still not Pondicherry (2)

Part 2 of “its NOT Pondicherry!”
An offbeat guide to this little French colonial- Tamilian gem of a place in South India….foodies guide to Pondi!

Not Pondicherry

And now I am here, in unexpected Pondicherry, to rediscover who I truly am.

The Last Crumb, Amsterdam

a charming bakery for high tea and coffee in the middle of Amsterdam is a must visit every time I go there.

Panchi

Panchgani and Mahablaeshwar, colonial hill-stations of yore, never fail to delight and fill my belly. A must visit if you are this side of the world, especially in beautiful Winter.
