Shrikhand is a luscious saffron yogurt, scented with ground cardamom, pistachios, almonds, and nutmeg. Its mild sunshine color, creamy smoothness, and delicate saffron flavor create an ambrosial combination. Although shrikhand is a sweet dish, in Gujarati meals it is not eaten as dessert, but rather, as a part of the main course, and often with [...]

I feel like I’m eating fall! I paired my pumpkin flax seed granola bar with some whole milk, blueberry yogurt. SOO delicious, like I was on a farm instead of at my cubicle.

After lunch we walked to the Toscanini’s, also in Central Square. My family loves ice cream (one of my grandmas runs a business making homemade ice cream in Bombay) and Toscanini’s has been a long time favorite, as I’m sure it is for many Massachusetts residents: exquisite flavors, and never too eggy, artificial, horrendously colored, [...]

Mary Chung’s is a Chinese restaurant my friend Maggie and her parents introduced me to back in high school. I think for a while, they drove into the city every Saturday for Dim Sum. Since I accompanied them frequently on these weekly visits, my tastebuds soon developed a yearning for the two vegetarian dishes they [...]

My desire to visit India is always doubled by the possibility of stuffing myself silly on Bombay’s khanna. While there [...]

At Alice’s Tea Cup, an Alice in Wonderland inspired tea shop, you can pretend you’re in a fairy-tale. Let’s say my tea-palette isn’t the most discerning- I don’t pretend to know teas well, and I generally like most that I’ve tried. But, I am well-acquainted with playing make-believe, and that, I believe, is what this [...]

I’m going home for the weekend, and I’ll have some time to update on a few places, including Wild Ginger and Vegetarian Dim Sum. I also hope to do a special on home-cooked Indian food- including recipes and maybe even featuring Shrikhand! Have a good Friday.
