After a long pause.......I am back. We all enjoyed a rather short trip to Chennai, India (about 2 weeks), and the multitude of emotions, the infinite colors of its existence and the experience is one that cannot be put in writing- neither is it my goal for a food blog post.
On the culinary level, is there another place on Earth that caters better to vegetarians? I sincerely doubt. Every nook and corner is blessed with food stalls, and grand restaurants that tantalize your taste buds in a way to be remembered for long.
Here are a few highlights of my love affair with food in India- a few restaurants me and my husband went to ( Taj Hotel, Sheraton Park Hotel, Barbecue Nation ....few others that the names escape now)- all offering amazing ambiance and food.- let the shots speak for themselves!

 |
| Chef cooking some delectable patties and snacks! |

| The Thali- one I will not forget- and neither will my stomach! |
