So I've heard, I'm actually a fan of dessert wines. There was a $1200 dessert wine at sterling napa which tasted shockingly similar to the rhodo wine from waterfall here at Rs 250

I'll be sure to persuade one of my visiting friends to get me a bottle, thanks!

In the last 1 year I have spent close to 7K but never liked a single bottle of wine I got. Now I am a frustrated wine drinker.
Shhh! Don't let the secret out --- that wine actually does not taste very nice!
hyeah:Well, there are wines that do, and guess what, they are despised by wine buffs
When I was in Pune, a couple of places stood out. The first was (I forget the name) in City Center (Boat Club Road) and was run by an Indian chef who was married to an Italian and had lived in Italy for a while. They closed down a couple of years ago though.
The other was/is Dario's, adjacent to Osho Ashram in Koregaon Park. Very good vegetarian Sicilian food, and exceptional bakes. Superb location too - you can literally spend the entire day in the place and you won't even know you are in the middle of a busy city. If you live in or visit Pune, you really should come to this place and spend a few hours. I believe they have expanded - and now have a restaurant in Poes Garden in Chennai as well.

I will be visiting Pune sometime early next year, will try the place for sure. I'll take a look see for the Chennai version as well. Thank you for the pointers!

On ECR, take the left cut leading to Tiruvanmiyur beach; once on the beach road, it is on one of the by lanes.
I love dessert wines too and have a half bottle of eiswein and a half bottle of Tokaji (Tokay) that I am waiting for the right opportunity to open..... mmmmm. Perhaps with some home-churned vanilla ice-cream and stewed pears....

Spaghetti in creamy mushroom sauce my mum and I made together today. Turned out shockingly good, better than all the previous times we've made the same recipe. Probably the best spaghetti I've had anywhere my entire life!!

That does look fantastic!
Look delicious! My eyes must be going...I can't tell if they look hollow..in which case they may be perciatelli.

In Hyderabad, there is a place in Gachibowli, "Over the Flames" , has wood burn pizza and five different types of pasta. Tucked in a corner and just running on the word of mouth, beats many other places hands down.
Of course, cooking on your own is something different, and more enjoyable.

If I had not just cooked and eaten fillets of Sea Bream with chips and a creamed onion sauce, those wonderful pasta pics would have my mouth watering.
No! Wait ... it is anyway

Actually, the dish you mentioned sounded utterly delicious!
Do you have a recipe for the sauce?
Thanks,

Utterly simple. The rule of this particular dinner is absolutely no spice of any kind!
The fish is fried in a little butter --- only.
The sauce: dice half an onion finely, and fry in butter until transparent. Mix about 1 teaspoon of maida (it would be cornflour if I was in London) with a little milk until there are no lumps. Add a little more milk, and add to onions, stirring until it thinkens. Add more milk if necessary, but keep it a thick paste until all traces of butter have been absorbed, then add milk to make quantity/thickness required. A tiny pinch of salt is allowed in this one, and maybe a touch of pepper. If I have a leek, it would be a leek and onion sauce
I almost feel I have to apologise to Indian palettes for this dish: it is about about bland and spice-less as is possible!
Just gentle flavour of fish and buttery onion white sauce.Serve with a little tartar sauce to add just one touch of contrast to the blandness. That comes out of a jar: I don't make it.
