Our cruise with Sail Lanka on the Ocean Diamond started on a beautiful sunny afternoon from Mirissa. Once onboard, all I wanted to do was prance around the deck where the sun seemed to hit so perfecty in that beautifully honeyed afternoon glow. The blueness of the water, the golden sunshine hitting the deck, you couldn’t ask for more! ...

I served these up with a creamy garlic mash which was the perfect accompaniment for the braise. The kick from the beer combined with tomatoes and caramelized onions creates the perfect flavor palette for the gamey Weisswurst to shine. It was absolutely perfect for the cosy weather, paired up of course, with a mug of cold beer. Instead of ...

A little bit of history Originally an 18th century Dutch mansion, the Fort Printers was once a mansion, then a school ...
You probably know by now how reluctant I am to eat fish. Whenever I try fish it has to be deep fried to get rid of all that fishy smell and taste and I am, in fact very aware of how unhealthy this is. So this is where an air fryer actually comes in handy. And this partcular fried ...
Club Ceylon opened its doors in Negombo recently and while we missed the opening due to a prior commitment, we were invited to a quiet dinner later. I do not rave and that is a statement.

How many of you buy readymade hummus from the store? Do you know what goes in it – which preservatives, flavors, colors etc that can be harmful to your health? How can you be sure? The truth is, you can never be sure. How hygienically it has been made and packed, how fresh the ingredients were or whether they ...

I’m not a fish eater. As silly as it sounds, I hate the fishy in the fish. But strangely though, I seem to just adore these mackerel and egg parcels. Flaky, buttery crust enveloping the strong flavored mackerel and the custardy yolk of half an egg is just the most sublime feeling on earth. The strong taste of mackerel ...
