  • The warm honey coloured buildings all around Cotswolds - you want to stand in front of them, admire their beauty, immerse yourself in their history. It's impossible to not get bowled over by how well the people here maintain their old buildings and its surroundings.
  • Our couple of days in Oxford were spent in this quintessential English country cottage. This was in a place called Cumnor, a 15 min drive from Oxford city center. . Done up in white and blue, a generously stocked kitchen, tons of cookbooks, kitchen window looking over a huge Willow tree and a sloping hill, it was the most perfect place. The best part about this place was the host David and his wife Heather who felt like old friends. They live in the main house adjoining the cottage, were around to help us in any way we needed. I was telling my husband how we would have felt sort of isolated in this farmhouse if it were not for the family staying there. Truly an unforgettable experience. Another beautiful @airbnb experience. . Check out my Oxford collection on my profile to see more cottage photos. Here I'm browsing through some of the wonderful cookbooks and jotting down recipe ideas :)
  • {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!
  • Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. George Eliot
  • 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑My fingers are too cold to type a long caption but this was one of my favourite scenes from our drive this morning. #cotswolds
  • 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.
