Candle in my bread, soup in my roll, sunset in my dessert and mushroom in my cappuccino -- that is what happens been you eat at Seville, one if the most enchanting places in the capital.
.
.
Spanish gazeboes, quaint canopies and brilliant flavours have always marked Seville, at The Claridges but the place is even more special with Chef Jordi Guillem doing special dinners until the end of this month. .
.
Known for his home-style cooking the chef, who comes from a family of restauranteurs, whipped us a beautiful meal for us at a special evening.
It started with an edible candle made with oliv oil and sourdough bread, accompanied by a beautiful sauce of peppers, herbs and spices. The rolls, came filled with fresh tomato sauce and the Stewed Gigot Lamb with spices and potato went beautifully with home made focaccia. .
.
Puree of roots with a foam, ever so subtle pumpkin risotto, lamb chops and pil-pil cod were fresh and flavourful with ingredients shining through. The star of the show was the sunset dessert made with mango and raspberry mousse, blue curacao, and shortbread crumbs. The Spanish Campo Viejo wine was exquisite, lite, with just the right amount of body and freshness. One of the best I have tasted. .
.
.
If you are looking at a nice meal to enjoy the nippy evenings Seville is where you should be. Abhishek the sommelier will win you over with his genuine warmth, Chef Rana will ensure you are stuffed and chef Bobby and Jordi will feed you best Spanish food you could find in the capital. .
.
.
And yes, have an extra glass of white Viejo for me.

For the longest time after becoming parents, my husband and I were tied to home. Barring the weeks that either set if parents were home, there were very few times we could go out. .
.
To two people who were unstoppable it was nothing less than a punishment. But then the kids were important as was our sanity - and that of others. So we quietly ate at home, hung out at friends who could tolerate our children and moped about lack of spaces which cater to young parents. .
.
That's why when I heard about @littlebig.co.in a place that was made for both kids and their mum-dads, I had to check it out.
.
.
What I saw made me really happy. Meeting @sidhuaftab and listening to his stories was fun. And eating alone without the kids (even though much older now) was a pleasure. .
.
The experience is out in the papers now. Do read. Also, whether you are a parent or not, do check out the place. It is fuss free, refreshing and serves some good food. As for the kids, they'd be busy on an airplane. .

The benefit of being tied to a place is that you actually can go back and look at places you've been to. Goa is one such. .
.
.
For someone in love with art and architecture, the Portuguese side of Goa holds a lot of promise. The colourful homes, centuries old mansions, low bungalows, uncountable curios, and of course the quintessential charm of laidback, quaint, quiet villages dotted with tiny homes and chapels. Incidentally I have yet to do a story on Goa, just as I have yet to write about Galle. All in good time as they say.
.
.
Also I want that desk. .
.
.
What's on your mind? Goa, Galle or something else?

"Wind in my hair, spring in my step, joy in my heart, and a song on my lips ā I clearly remember every sensation from my first solo vacation ten years ago. I was slightly anxious, a little nervous, but excited nonetheless ā and relieved to be alone for a change."
.
.
My first solo travel happened at the ripe old age of 30, after I became a mother. And for past 10 years I have not stopped. Paused maybe, but never stopped. .
.
What does traveling alone mean to me then and to women in general? I speak with some solo travellers and find out for my latest story in @provoke_lifestyle .
.
.
Thank you for your inputs @therdplife @mathangya @kiranjeetchaturvedi @poulami_banerji @rucsb and Natasha. I will share the story soon. ā¤ļø
