The World of Emirati Cuisine And Culture | A Photo Essay
We have been living in the UAE for a long time now. More than a decade – that’s long enough to be able to cook the cuisine of a country one is living in. But alas, that hasn’t been the case.

Barbecue Delights | The Afghani Rosh That’s Forced Me To Discuss Indo-Pak Politics!
‘What? You went to Barbecue Delights? But that’s a Pakistani joint’. Yes, sounds incredulous, but many miles across the Indo-Pak border and the LOC (lines of control), we Indians and Pakistanis still let Politics rule our conversations in our Dubai drawing rooms, while pretending to be neutral and oh-so-enlightened-and-educated. When I had started my blog, I had promised myself that I will not be … Read More Barbecue Delights | The Afghani Rosh That’s Forced Me To Discuss Indo-Pak Politics!

Bait, which translated into English means ‘home’, leads to the peculiar English name – Al Baghdadi … Read More Masqouf in Bait Al Baghdadi | Tasting Iraq’s National Dish
