Bloggers Table | Rose Café, New Delhi … a thorny affair and Pinktober let down
Not pink at all café review - The folk at the bloggers table delivered the promise as always … giggly, enthusiastic, chatty and click friendly. Rose Café, New Delhi, however didn’t! We failed to see the writing on the wall several times, willing to overlook glaring shortcomings, ready to forgive a lacking service standards, ever ready to accommodate an upcoming new venture which showed some promise. Maybe we shouldn’t be so large hearted after all!

A refreshing and beautifully coloured low fat frozen treat. The addition of vanilla sugar and kirsch give it that special flavour. This is a nice way to preserve excess fruit of summer for later use.

It’s quite surprising to see that year after year the Hindu calendar marks a different date for Holi, and this is always the first day of Spring.

So much to do, so little time. And then the hair brained idea to use pink pepper in cookies. It keeps taking over my insane imagination, even though I knew I had so much more to do.
