Foodie Files

Something I saw while surfing blogs. Being a foodie that I am, I couldn’t resist filling it up myself.

1. What’s your favourite table?

The coffee table

2. What would you have for your last supper?

I might kill myself with the buffet at BBQ Nation or just gobble up seafood platters at Britto’s with a nice white wine…slurrrrrrp

3. What’s your poison?

Depends on the food and mood. I love Diet Coke on ice, fresh watermelon juice, Ice-teas. If I am indulging in a nice Italian meal, I enjoy a glass of wine.

4. Name your three dessert island ingredients.

Chocolate sauce, muesli and ice-cream

5. Which book gets you cooking?

Frankly, I don’t know what gets me cooking, but books don’t really do the trick. Sometimes, I just need to whip up that pasta! But yeah I love Jamie Oliver’s Italy. Most of my recipes are from Nigella’s show.

6. What’s your dream dinner party line up?

There are many. But I would love to serve some nice spicy kebabs with some nice summery cocktails followed by a nice Biryani, kachumber and more kebabs (current obsession of this gourmet is marinated BBQ meat!) Dessert would be a nice and simple barfi with mint tea.

7. What was your childhood teatime treat?

Cream biscuits and Naankhatais… I love the way they soften up when dipped in tea. I still relish digestive biscuits dipped in chai… Yum.

8. What was your most memorable meal?

Many of them. Right from homecooked grandma meals to delectable meals at dhabas. But one of the best meals I have eaten is at BBQ nation.

9. What was your biggest food disaster?

None really… Food is all good!

10. What’s the worst meal you’ve ever had?

The first time I ever cooked pasta… I didn’t drain it, I added the veggies to it and it ended up being a soggy porridge… Yuck…

11. Your food hero/food villian?

Many food heroes. Rahul dada, Mom, grandmom, Jamie Oliver and of course Vivek kaka, as for villains none. When there’s food, nothings negative.

12. Nigella or Delia?

She might act seductive with food, but the woman knows her ingredients and she knows her way around tedious cooking methods. So yes, Nigella.

13. Vegetarians: genius or madness?

Vegetarians are considerate, healthy. Non-vegetarians live life for the moment…

14. Fast food or fresh food?

Both have their beauty, but I enjoy fast food just once in a while. I love the crunch of a fresh off the farm carrots, radishes and cucumbers.

15. Who would you most like to cook for?

I love cooking for my sister and Pannu. Mind it, if I want to cook for you, you’re special…

16. What would you cook to impress a date?

I’d cook up a story! I wouldn’t have to try too hard, I am a good cook…

17. Make a wish.

Let the food crisis be resolved fast…
