Just Roll With It at Kati N’ More

Leave a comment

So excited to have accidentally stumbled across a very new and very exciting spot in Stamford. Launching with a soft-open this week, Kathi N’ More brings to Fairfield County’s culinary landscape a much-loved Indian street food called Kati Rolls.

What is a Kati Roll? It’s a punch of Indian flavors and spices combined with your choice of meats and vegetables, all wrapped up in thick Indian bread which is coated with a layer of egg on the inside, oh! and a dab of Indian chutney for good measure. Moist and delicious, this is a fail-safe and super-scrumptious … Continue Reading ››

A Curious Aspect Of Indian Cuisine

Leave a comment

Hakka noodles. Manchurian chicken. Manchow soup. Chilli Chicken.... If you were born and brought up in India, or if you have spent a considerable amount of time in India, these words will make you salivate and get you all excited. And for the rest of you - well! you may just be confused. Am I right? Or am I right?

[Tweet "Indian-Chinese cuisine is a unique entity"]. It’s not pure Chinese food and of course its not pure Indian. In fact what it is, is a beautiful marriage of two of most bold and flavorful cultures … Continue Reading ››

Fin - An Oldie And A Goodie

Leave a comment

A few years and a couple of jobs ago, a colleague of mine used to RAVE about Fin. At that time, I did make a mental note to check it out for myself- but living near Westport area, I somehow always find myself at Matsu Sushi. Besides, with all the new restaurants that are opening constantly and with the ever changing culinary landscape of Fairfield county, it is easy to overlook the old gems that have been present right under our very noses? And so, sadly, I never gave Fin a chance ..... until now.

Macaron Mania!

3 Comments

I have just had this vision. A vision of my perfect world. Here is how it unfolds.... each morning my doorbell rings. I open the door and I find a box of fresh Laduree macarons. Delivered. JUST FOR ME!!! Aaahhh ...

If only!

The moment I walked into the Laduree shop on Madison Ave in New York, I knew I had stepped into heaven. Everything looked good enough to eat. The gorgeous colors of the macarons and their flavors descriptions made it really hard for me to make up my mind on which to try. I … Continue Reading ››

Perfect End To A Great Weekend

Leave a comment

Last weekend we had LOTS of family over from AZ, NJ and MA. The house buzzed with activity all weekend long, the conversation un-paused, and our kitchen the center of all the action.

When the last of the guests left on Sunday, all I could get myself to do was cuddle up on the couch with a good book and vegetate. The last thing I felt like doing was to get back in the kitchen and cook dinner. I had spent my weekend pampering others - and now I felt like being pampered. So, the obvious choice … Continue Reading ››

Lahore, Delhi & London - Under One Roof!

3 Comments

I am super excited about this new addition to Fairfield County food scene. It brings back many childhood memories. Memories that I have tried to re-live ever since I set foot in the US. Often coming close ... yet not close enough to that taste, that sensation, that feeling of pure pleasure and contentment. The flavors and aromas of food sold at every street corner. Ah! the curries, the kebabs, the aromatic biryani ...

Indian food (specifically food in northern India, mainly Delhi) is almost identical to food cooked in Pakistan. The two countries have shared … Continue Reading ››

A Different Experience

4 Comments

A few weeks ago, some of you may have caught my rants and raves of 2013. I ranted about how Fairfield County doesn’t have enough quality ethnic restaurants. Now... just a few weeks later - I hear the buzz about a new restaurant that opened in Fairfield. And get this .... its a Cambodian restaurant! Hallelujah!!!!

Of course, I had to go there. Actually, I ran! Royal House Cambodia. I have never been to a Cambodian restaurant, but I expected that it will be a cross between Vietnamese and Thai cuisine.

Noodles. Dumplings. Red … Continue Reading ››

The Bold And The Flavorful

Leave a comment
Rosa Mexicano has been an institution in New York since the early 1980‘s. Accomplishing the unthinkable, it introduced authentic Mexican cuisine with a contemporary twist and turned it into an elegant dining experience- way back when we wouldn’t have considered Mexican cuisine as an upscale dining option. Pulling from the core of Mexican culture, every nuance of the restaurant- its decor, server’s uniforms, servings dishes, and of course the food - shouts out bold colors and flavors. As soon as you enter, your senses will excite and the aromas will beckon you in.

For a foodie like me, one … Continue Reading ››

A Cooking Trend Gaining Momentum

2 Comments

I am all excited about a cooking trend that originated in laboratories, in the recent years it has spread out to high-end restaurants, and is finally making its way into home kitchens. It's a technique that employs exact science to create consistent and perfect results each and every time.

Most of us like to cook and experiment with recipes. If nothing else, we all look forward to putting a burger or a piece of steak on the grill during summer months. Yet, most of the time, we settle for not-so-perfect final results. Our steaks or poultry can … Continue Reading ››

Understanding the Science of Cooking

2 Comments

I am left enthralled, animated, educated, excited, mesmerized, inspired, hungry for more and quite simply ... in-awe, after auditing a 10 week online course presented by Harvard University last fall. The course was called Science and Cooking.

What initially got my attention was the roll call of chefs that were to be part of this lecture/demonstration series. Names like Ferran Adria (El Bulli), Jose Andres (ThinkFoodGroup), Dan Barber (Blue Hill), Joan Roca (El Celler de Can Roca), Nathan Myhrvold (Modernist Cuisine), Wylie Dufrsene … Continue Reading ››
