“So are you going to SpiceKlub on Thursday? Been a long time since I’ve met you and I’m really looking forward” The response was “You going to a pure vegetarian restaurant? Wow! Your wonders never cease to amaze me” This is an excerpt from a conversation I was having with Shikha a.k.a Sorelle Grapevine after we were invited to lunch at SpiceKlub, the latest restaurant in Park Street specializing in molecular gastronomy and pure vegetarian food. If you know me well, you will not find Shikha’s reaction surprising because I pretty much never go to a restaurant to eat a pure vegetarian meal. Why did I agree to go to SpiceKlub? Because 1) I’ve heard good things about the food and read reviews praising it 2) I saw the IG stories of a couple of bloggers who went before me and what they posted looked really delicious. To find out if the restaurant is as good as people claim it to be, I decided to go and try it out myself.
Winter Special Menu At Serafina Kolkata
One of my favorite Italian restaurants in Kolkata, Serafina is offering a special winter menu that will be available till 1st Jan, 2017. You can choose from dishes including Classic Ratatouille, Assorted Veg Crostini Platter, Spicy Sea Food Rissotto and many more. Apart from this, there is also a winter cocktail promotion that is currently going on. There are variations of Toddy including a Singlemalt Hot Toddy and a Captain Toddy. Other specials are Sapphire Martini, Rare Aspro and a Warm Sangria.
I’ve tried some of the dishes from the special menu and they are definitely not to be missed. If you are non-vegetarian, I would recommend the Tuna Carpacio, Shrimp Ravioli, Seafood Risotto with very Indian flavors and the Turkey Roulade with Berry Jus. If you love Pizza, try the Spinach and Ricotta Pizza. Very simple but such a beautiful blend of the cheese and spinach flavors. And I am saying that being a hardcore non-vegetarian!
A Coastal Culinary Adventure At The Coastal Macha
Want to go on a coast to coast ride with some regional fare from Kerala, Goa, Karnataka and parts of Maharashtra? Drop in to The Coastal Macha at 55, Southern Avenue (next to Atlanta gym). The restaurant is the brainchild of Sabrina Mukherjee and Piyush Menon, friends who spent many years in Bangalore and who wanted to give Kolkata a taste of authentic coastal cuisine.
In Kolkata, it is tough to get good coastal food. Some of the hotels come up with special promotional events once in a while but there was no restaurant solely dedicated to it. And that is why I’m so thankful for The Coastal Macha. Now, I can get my fix of Sol Kadhi, Chicken Ghee Roast, Prawn and Mutton Sukka anytime I want to!
Lunch With Karen Anand & The Farmer’s Market At Taj Bengal
The ‘Martha Stewart of India’, a writer, a food critic, an anchor, a chef, a businesswoman, a consultant, a ‘food guru’ who has been influencing the way people eat and perceive good food for nearly 25 years, Karen Anand is an institution in herself. She is an inspiration to many in the food and wine business and it was my pleasure to have spent a wonderful afternoon with her at The Taj Bengal recently, courtesy the Pikturenama duo, Anindya and Madhushree. Karen was in the city for the Kolkata edition of her Farmers’ Market and she hosted a Bloggers Table for some of us at The Hub, Taj Bengal. The main topic of conversation? Of course, food! 😀
Rahul Arora Brings Paranthe Wali Galli To Kolkata
Dear Supi
How have you been? I know the look on your face right now and I know exactly what you are thinking. Yes, I could have called or even whatsapped but it’s been ages since I’ve written a letter so here I am, doing it the old-fashioned way. Can you believe that it’s been more than 10 years since those days in Delhi? The 9 a.m classes, the trips to Kamla Nagar to buy cotton fabric, the excursions to Gwalior and Sariska, catching up at Khan Market, watching movies, momos and fruit beer at Dilli Haat and so much more. Remember how I used to pester you to take me to Chandni Chowk? To the famed Paranthe Wali Galli? You guys used to constantly talk about the amazing food that you get there and I would be salivating even thinking about the paranthas. I was in Delhi for two years and you did not get the time to take me there. Well, guess what? We have a Paranthe Wali Galli now in Kolkata too and there, you get 40 types of parantha and 15 types of lassi! Yes, close your mouth now.
