JDF: Meringues.

It's been a while since my last JDF hasn't it? I'm sorry. But I couldn't just blog about the dessert without actually making it myself cause that's not what I vowed to do. So, without further ado, meringues!

Ready? OKAY!

The first time I had a meringue was at a Good Foods store in London. This was the first time I made some myself and Jamie made it SO easy! Doesn't he always though? Okay that's enough gushing. If you guys don't  know what meringues are, they're light and sugary biscuit kinda things which you've just got to try! Meringues are real easy to make, consisting of just 3 ingredients:

And into the oven they go!

• Egg whites
• Caster sugar
• Pinch of salt

Then of course you can add you own subtle flavours and also make a pavlova! I made Oreo meringues by adding crushed Oreo cookies to the mixture. There are dozens of other flavours you can come up with!

Mmmmmmm...

My next JDF will be Eton Mess whose key ingredient is meringues! As always, here's the recipe: http://www.oprah.com/own-anna-kristina-grocery-bag/Jamie-Olivers-Basic-Meringue-Recipe

Meringues are one of the easiest desserts to make! I literally have no tips to give you! If you have any questions or problems, you know where to tweet me :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Indian.

This post is aptly titled, if I can say so myself. With Diwali having just gotten over and the general patriotic fervor in the air, I realized, that my knowledge and depth about Indian food is quite stunted. I think the simple reason is because I don't eat as much Indian food as I do continental neither do I cook it. What can I say, I just don't have a natural talent for Indian food. I can't concoct Indian recipes with various spices in my head like I can continental food. The solution? Practice! And I've already started, trust me, I made my first ever Poha for Diwali breakfast this year and it wasn't a disaster! So there is hope ;)

What do you think?

Rajdhani.
We've all been to Rajdhani; a simple and elegant experience with great value for money. I recently went to Rasovara by Rajdhani which is now a more fine dining experience with the prices just a little higher and a HUGE variety in return. The place is done up and looks fabulous and the staff is dressed as smartly as ever. Each table has a designated person in charge. The service here is top notch. It really can't get any better. They force you like you've come to their home and leave you feeling content. I had the privilege of visiting their kitchen and my friend Sneha got busy! All in all, it was a wonderful experience. Go there guys,for the impeccable service and the desserts if not for anything else; heavenly.

Stay Hungry!
