  • {EATING OUT IN COTSWOLDS} 🥑🍞 . Yesterday's breakfast stop at Huxleys at Chipping Campden, another pretty little town in Cotswolds with the most darling cottages made using the traditional golden coloured stone. . Coming to this breakfast, it was a few utterly simple things put together with perfection - eggs, avocado, toast, butter, grated cheese and a tiny pile of rocket. Simple ingredients of the best quality put together with care....when I see this on a plate, it really warms my heart and makes me wish high end restaurants and cafes in Indian cities would dare to do this-- keeping things absolutely minimalistic with the best quality. Swipe to see the flat white coffee and the menu. . Best thing to do when the weather is cold and rainy is sneak into a warm cafe for a cuppa and a nibble!

  • HELLO FROM COTSWOLDS! swipe to see all pics . Cotswolds has been on my must visit list ever since I saw the cobblestone cottages in the movie The Holiday. (HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?) . And we decided to come here as a part of our family holiday to UK. It's every bit as charming as we imagined. It's brrrr cold out here but the local pubs are warm and inviting. There are quaint little shops all over market square and the fall colours- all so beautiful. . Yesterday lunch was at the King's Arms - a coaching inn, full of history. Apparently Charles I stayed here in 1645. The Sunday roast menu included a vegetarian nut roast much to my happiness. And it tasted great too. Son had his fav fish and chips. Our roasts were served with gravy and the traditional Yorkshire pudding. Definitely a must visit place if you visit Cotswolds. The King's Arms is a bed and breakfast so you have rooms too. It was just a small walk away from our @airbnb bang in Market Square.
  • Ever tried pink guava in a salad? This is inspired from the Thai Raw Papaya salad and tastes even better than the original. This salad turned out really expensive for me as I chipped a fragment of my molar tooth during the process of recipe testing, thanks to biting into a guava seed! . You can look for the recipe in my @livemintlounge column from last month. I'll try and link it up in the stories too.
  • Beer is not my most favorite drink but sometimes I have a glass to give company to the husband 🍺 . Also, sometimes he manages to click pics of my that meet with my approval 😁 Do you also make your SO click a dozen pics before you can say - "yeah that's ok!"? 😁😁 . 👚This fitted navy blue dress from @marksandspencerindia is one of my current favourites. #thatsbirainahoegaardenglass
  • Shubho Mahalaya! . It's the start of the festive season and I'm here with the recipe for these delicious sesame mava laddoos which I'd posted on @liebherrappliancesindia blog last month. Check their blog for step by step photos. Here's the recipe... . Makes 25 laddoos Prep time - 15-20 minutes . Ingredients . 200 grams unpolished white sesame seeds 200 grams khoya/mava 130 grams ~ 1 cup powdered jaggery 1 tsp ground green cardamom  3 tbsp white poppy seeds 3-4 tbsp desiccated coconut 1 tsp dried rose petals . In a hot pan, toast sesame seeds on a medium flame until they crackle rapidly, and turn a couple of shades darker. Remove to a dish to cool. In the same pan, sauté the crumbled khoya for 2-3 minutes on a medium flame. Remove to a dish to cool. Place the toasted sesame in a mixer jar / blender and grind to a coarse powder. In a bowl, combine the sesame powder, sautéed khoya, powdered jaggery and green cardamom powder. Stir well or mix with fingers until well combined into a smooth dough. If the mixture feels sticky, then add desiccated coconut as needed, until you get the right texture. Divide the mixture into 20 gram portions (small lime sized). This recipe will yield around 25 portions if you mix in a few tablespoons of coconut. Roll between palms to get smooth laddoos. Spread out the poppy seeds in a flat dish and lightly roll each laddoo to coat with poppy seeds. This can also be done using desiccated coconut, or a mix of both. Stick a rose petal on each laddoo. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving.
