  • Gourmand Geets : Simply Panna Cotta

    I love stewed strawberries and apples. I love it even more when served with fresh cream or vanilla ice cream. One of the easiest desserts to make when in a hurry, it never fails. But I am bored of it. Staring at what was probably the last batch of strawberries…

  • Gourmand Geets : Spinach and Feta Fatayer

    I love spinach. In any form. Give it to me raw (baby spinach salad), boiled, simply sautéed, cooked in masalas or mixed in béchamel to be served with pasta. So when I saw the Spinach and Feta Fatayers on Barry Véra’s Feast Bazaar episode on Syrian street food, I couldn’t…

  • Gourmand Geets : Sautéed Chicken in Creamy Mustard Sauce / Lettuce Strawberry Salad

    I was experimenting a lot in the kitchen in June, July and August and then suddenly I slipped into a comfortable space, sticking to the tried and tested recipes. The first strawberries of the season inspired me to make a gourmet meal and so with my sparse ingredients I looked…

  • Gourmand Geets : Esplanade

    One rainy evening, after spending a week cooped up at home on a severely restricted diet, my friend and I were restless and our gourmandise was at its peak. We set out in search of good food in a tranquil ambience and found ourselves passing Esplanade on 100 feet road.…

  • Gourmand Geets : Ants Café

    I first heard about Ants Café from an acquaintance, who said that it was a cool place to chill out on a weekend, adding that it was a Northeast Indian joint. So when my friend and I decided to head there one rainy evening, it was to sample Northeast Indian…

  • Gourmand Geets : Onam Sadhya at Enté Keralam

    A restaurant I had passed often on my way to my corporate class or after shopping at 1 MG, Ente Keralam has been on my “to eat at” list for a while now. So when my friend showed me the advertisement for the Onam Sadhya special at Ente Keralam I…

  • Gourmand Geets : Experiments with Salads

    Some days ago, an old school friend posted on Facebook that she used to be a thin girl. I couldn’t help but empathise. I used to be a VERY thin girl and never imagined that I would ever have to control my foodie urges. (let’s ignore the fact that I…

  • Gourmand Geets : Secret Garden

    I heard about this restaurant from one of my first blogger friends  (somebody with whom I have still not been out for lunch/dinner, even after being in this city for a year!). A charming restaurant that serves French cuisine, a stone’s throw from the Alliance Française de Bangalore.  How could…

  • Gourmand Geets : Under The Mango Tree

    On a lazy weekend, looking for a new place to eat, we checked into Burrp and were immediately arrested by the enticing picture of Under The Mango Tree (or UTMT, as it is otherwise known). And so we went off to 3, Laurel Road, Richmond Town. It was a little…

  • Gourmand Geets: Mangalore Pearl

    It’s been a while since I indulged in a neer dosa  with some amazing chicken stew. I discovered Mangalore Pearl on a friend’s recommendation (of course) and became a fan instantly. Tucked away in a corner, opposite Sony centre on Coles Road, it’s easy to miss it. The first time…

  • Gourmand Geets : Moroccan Chicken with Figs

    A few days ago, I bought some figs only to discover they weren’t the juicy, tender figs from the Nasik belt, but strange oversized, over-ripe figs of a kind I had never encountered before. I made myself eat one, but decided I didn’t like the taste enough to eat them…

  • Gourmand Geets : An Evening of Shorts and a Pitcher! (more than just restaurant review this time)

    I knew about Shamiana Shorts for a while, but something or the other prevented me from making it for one of their screenings in Pune. So when I heard of the Shamiana Shorts screening at AFB, I was absolutely delighted! The evening started with a near accident and quite a…
