It’s no secret that I have always been hopelessly in love with tea. And this love for the golden liquid is something which runs in my genes, I believe. On most days, a big, bold cup of morning tea is what makes me ready to go out in the big, bad world for the day’s…

Lombardy Festival at La Cucina, Hyatt Regency, Kolkata
Every visit of mine to La Cucina has been very special in its own ways, and this last one a few days back was no different. The occasion of this particular mid-week lunch visit was to have a taste of the some simple yet beautiful cooking by Chef Ferrari from the Lombardy region of Italy….

Our Honeymoon: Of joy, learning and getting to know each other
Fifteen months ago when I had thought of starting a food blog, I had wanted to create an archive of my thoughts and memories attached to food. Very little did I know that it would go on to become so much more than that. Today after 15 months since the inception of BiteChompGulp, it has…
The Dugga Pujo Isspecials around Town
While a sizeable portion of the country eat their vegetarian, no-onion, no-garlic food through Navaratri or fast throughout the day and eat nothing at all, taking their piety a notch higher, we Bengalis gorge on copious amounts of meaty meals, with spots of vegetarian things thrown in between as accompaniments. Durga Pujo is yet another excuse for a week-long, lavish ‘Pet-Pujo’. The queues outside most restaurants even in the middle of the night, is unbelievable. Be it special buffets, set meals or a jazzed up ala carte menu, happiness is served to those who seek it:D.

The Vegan Workshop @Swissotel
I have always found it hypocritical that most Indian vegetarians, with their proud garb of being ‘animal lovers’, happily use every other animal product apart from just the meat. Be it leather shoes or silk sarees, honey or commercial cosmetics – they use it all. And let’s not even go into dairy products. The logic…

We Indians have a special place for ‘Aam – the King of Fruits’ in our lives, and Aamras tops the list of summer dreams for many.

Rubi’s Big Burger Challenge
It was showdown time at Rubi’s Grill, Dover Lane, which happens to be a favourite American diner of mine, with 6 finalists of Rubi’s Big Burger Challenge competing to bag the shiny Champion’s plaque. These six young guns had already gone through a qualifying round, which started with 22 brave-hearts, and also a semi-final. I…
