Gol Gappa shots at Moti Mahal Delux NYC

I don’t eat Indian food at restaurants often, not because I dislike them, but because I cook (and eat) Indian food at home regularly and the dishes that I make are often lower in calories too (isn’t that true of most home-made food?).   ...

Jeanne and Gaston – a contemporary French restaurant

A week spent in Paris and the Loire Valley makes me no expert to talk about French food on this blog (and no, living in NYC with amazing French restaurants do not count, because I do not visit them often), but if the Association of Maitres Cuisinier ...

Amazing Grilled Octopus at Oficina Latina NYC

Despite many years of living in the US and despite some travel to Mexico, Peru, Brazil, and Argentina, I confess that I know very little of Central and South American cuisine and drinks.  A good reason, I think, is because I do not get to eat ...
