2008-10-04 Navaratri Feast in Southindies

It is difficult to sum up the fare in superlatives, because there are some dishes which are nothing to write home about, while some are really special. But it is worth making that trip to try out the menu, the foremost reason being that you do not get such speciality South Indian food elsewhere, especially wrapped up from the four southern states.

Although no particular dishes are associated with this nine-day festival, Southindies, the South Indian vegetarian restaurant on 100-ft. Road in Indiranagar, is celebrating the festival with a Navratri food festival, offering a different menu everyday till the end of the festival that is, October 8. When one is looking for vegetarian South Indian fare, one is forced to land up at a darshini, which, no doubt, offer a variety of snacks, or end up at one of the ubiquitous Udupi restaurants, which do not certainly qualify for a fine dining experience.

2008-10-01 DNA - Mumbai - A cuisine that passes mustard - Daily News and Analysis

It is evident that Bengali food is a hot favourite among Mumbaikars. Probably that explains the entry of speciality restaurants like Oh Calcutta Express, The Calcutta Club, Howrah, and Hoogli, serving authentic Bengali cuisine. And of course there are several 5-star hotels serving Bengali dishes as well. In Navi Mumbai, one can savour Bengali food at Flavours of Kolkata.

Chef Neeraj Rawoot, chef de cuisine, Grand Hyatt Mumbai, says, Rice is the staple diet and mustard, in the form of oil, paste or seeds, is used in almost all their dishes. Bengali cuisine uses a lot of Panch-phoran five spices that include cumin seeds, fennel seeds, methi, onion seeds and mustard seeds. Another unique aspect is the addition of a pinch of sugar at the end. This is not to make their food sweet, but to solely add a subtle flavour.

Bengali cuisine has the perfect blend of sweet and spicy flavours. What distinguishes Bengali cuisine from food of other regions is the abundance of rice, fresh water fish and mustard.

2008-09-18 Crystal Cruises: good-value luxury - Telegraph

My cruise, a seven-night voyage from Civitavecchia, the port for Rome, to Venice, costs and pound;4,950 per person in a penthouse including flights, transfers and gratuities and ndash; a lot of money, especially given that you also have to pay for drinks (assuming you want more than what comes free with the penthouse) and gratuities in the speciality restaurants, all of which would be included on other six-star lines.

I admit I and rsquo;m no fan of being told when and where to eat for dinner, but when you and rsquo;ve only got about 500 passengers per sitting and a large chunk of those are in the speciality restaurants anyway and ndash; there and rsquo;s an Italian, Prego, and the Silk Road, created by sushi king Nobu Matsuhisa, which both seemed busy every night and ndash; dinner sittings all become a bit more relaxed.

2008-10-10 A seven-course chocolate tasting menu Including fish - Features, Food and Drink - The Independent

Jones is certainly correct that the meal avoids the usual pitfalls of a speciality tasting menu and does make full use of Youngs skills and chocolates versatility. But despite the commercial hook of National Chocolate Week, Im still left wondering what the point of it is. While the dessert courses and the pigeon were fantastic, throughout much of the meal, and particularly in the first few courses, the chocolate seemed surplus to requirements. And the less said about the velout and cheese course, the better.

Located in the fashionable streets of north London, Almeida restaurant and bar is exactly the sort of establishment youd expect to offer trendy one-off menus and exciting, fresh ingredients. Squab pigeon. yes. Smoked eel and oysters. almost certainly. Butternut squash velout. a must. Fine chocolate in every course. really
