A hectic day ended with a visit to Pind Balluchi. I wasn’t very enthusiastic about it as more often than not, places serving Indian food tend to smother everything in thick, over-spiced gravies. Also, when you see a ‘rustic’ ambience being offered, it’s probably their way of saying ‘our waiters are monosyllabic morons and our [...]
We visited Blanco a few days back for a drink and some food.
Quite a nice place. Either I haven’t been getting around as much as I used to, or restaurants are becoming more and more daring and experimenting with bold themes for their decor. I did like the way Blancos was set up. The staff [...]
We awoke to watery sunshine then went back to sleep. We dozed for ages, it was so relaxing. We read and drank coffee then went for a drive at about 3.00pm, by which time it was raining again. We climbed Mont D’Or where D had been the previous evening but the 56 steps of the [...]
We a woke to sunshine and I wore my summer clothes. We had breakfast of fried eggs and mushrooms on toasted sunflower bread, it was lovely. French eggs all seem to have very yellow yolks and they are always delicious. We read a little in the sunshine but soon had to have a little snooze…
We [...]
We awoke to a cool and damp day but as it is our holiday we don’t mind that much. We did some basic shopping then had a drive out to the countryside. There is a distinct lack of wild life in this area compared to some places we have stayed, the only things of interest have been [...]
On the MV Bretagne from Portsmouth we find our cabin and stow our luggage. To the restaurant for dinner but there was a long queue and we had to put our names on a list to be called when a table became vacant. To the rear deck, with drinks - Sancerre for me and a [...]
Made using a pre-mixed tomato basil mixture, this bread is the perfect accompaniment to any soup. Soft, tangy and delicious it tastes wonderful with a light spread of cheese or butter.
We had these crunchy, spicy pakodas for lunch yesterday.
While not usually lunch material, they provided a nice change as pakodas are normally snack food in India. One of the most common times they’re made is when it’s raining outside. Most houses will then deep fry this delicious snack and the whole family consumes copious quantities [...]
Right, so all I’m writing about is Zainab’s food - I know.
I’ve tried cooking here and nearly always wind up with disastrous results. The problem is that when you’re not in your own kitchen, you almost never have the ‘right’ implements or spices and there are so many stuffed in various nooks and crannies of [...]
An expert at rustling up healthy and delicious food, this is another one of Zainab’s creations.
Onion, garlic and bell peppers lightly fried, tossed with boiled noodles and kidney beans, then seasoned with soy sauce and served hot.
Simple isn’t it? It tasted good too!
