Food Lovers - Winter 2015

In dieser Angelegenheit

Food Lovers will reach its 10th anniversary milestone in the next few months. What began as a publication to celebrate the culinary landscape of a city has evolved today into what we believe is the country’s finest country’s finest content platform on food, wine and dining, now straddling the media gamut from print to digital.

Moving on to our current issue, we explore Progressive Indian Dining in Dubai. Attracting some of the best Indian chefs from London, New York and India, catering to a discerning global audience, we present five restaurants that are a must-visit when in Dubai, with a culinary philosophy centred on sourcing prime ingredients from the far corners of the world.

In Food & Wine, we seize the opportunity to curate an ambitious food and wine tasting in collaboration with The Indian Culinary route, using hyper-regional Indian dishes in a pairing hitherto never done before. The food festival, conceptualised and executed by the Bengaluru Marriott Hotel, saw twelve chefs from twelve different regions of the country prepare native delicacies like Oondhiyu, Sabudana Vada, Laal Maas and more… Expect to find in these pages, dishes that you’ve never seen paired with wine before!

Regional pays tribute to Anglo-Indian fare with Bridget White-Kumar who is determined to preserve the cuisine of a colonial era, the result of a happy reinterpretation of essentially Western fare with Indian spices and culinary traditions. You will also enjoy recipes by Chef Sandip Narang from the annals of The Taj West End, perhaps one of the last vestiges of this wonderful cuisine.

Last but not the least, we ring in the festive season with Festive Macarons, unveiled by the talented pastry chefs of Delice at Novotel, Bengaluru; handcrafted with ingredients and flavours that capture the spirit of celebration across cultures.

And there’s plenty more in this issue. My team joins me in wishing you and your loved ones a glorious and appetising festive season ahead.

Bon Appétit!
