The Perfect Peking Duck

So when my hosts in Shanghai, Manmeet and Mio, proposed that we try out what is probably the best ‘Beijing Duck’ (well that’s how they referred to it) restaurant in town, I [...]
Flavours of Winter – Reliving My Childhood
Returning to my home state after seventeen years, which is almost half my life, I decided to overindulge in things that I had missed for all these years. As far as food was concerned, it meant eating vegetables which we always associated with a season. We always had lady’s fingers, lauki (bottle gourd), parwal, turai [...]
