If you like my article, I’d like your vote.
I usually don’t take part in competitions. It just gives me heartburn. And forget about winning anything, it leads to negative investment when I lose (aka tub of ice cream to cry my losses into.) But this time was different. … Continue reading
The food pilgrimages that make Dubai my own city.
I’m sorry. I can’t write you a restaurant review today. For the past 10 days, my thoughts have been muddled between Dubai, New York, and Beirut. Too muddled and too sentimental to pen out a staid restaurant review. Instead, here’s … Continue reading
Why the meadow of good food I’ve been rolling around in hasn’t made it to this blog.
I’ve had more than my fair share of awesome eats lately. But at the end of all of the prancing and fluttering about, I really don’t have much to share with you, other than this…date bread. This old-time classic hails … Continue reading
The deep, dark emotions of a self-effacing food blogger.

[Cake credits: Photographed this beauty at the Choco’a stall, at the 2011 Abu Dhabi wedding fair] Today is a very special day for me. It’s the day when, a year ago, google surfaced the blog of another fellow food blogger … Continue reading
I LIKE MY BUNS FLOOFAY.
[Double-meaning perverted male culprits out there who’re snickering at my post title, stop that thought process right THERE. This is just a foodblog remember?] Anyhoo, let me present to you my super scientific taxonomy for bread… The Crispy and Crunchy. … Continue reading
I’ve decided, I’m having a chocolate wedding. Will you marry me?
I saw something this past Saturday that made me rethink my wedding entirely. [Mom, and the two hundred Indian aunties out there who I know, and don’t know – but who are convinced that they’ve rocked me to sleep when … Continue reading
Unveiling Naked Pizza
Dubai just doesn’t bring out the pizza lover in me. I can’t think of the last time that I actually went out for pizza. Flipping open a menu at Forgettable Café X and making an impulse pizza decision doesn’t count. … Continue reading
