On my walk outside. (I stay within one hour of my home so it is according to the rules). Covid 19 has shaken us all to the core. They seem to be completely oblivious to it. Bless these beauties!

Limoncello is such a popular liquor around the world. We even on purpose say it in an Italian accent as it's made in Italy 😋 🇮🇹

But hold on, did you know that there is also a *French Limoncello*? 🤯

Well apparently they do make it in *Menton*. I am glad to share my collaboration video with the famous shop selling specialised lemon products in *Côté Citron! 🍋

(Note:There is also an English subtitles option. Just click on CC-->English)

Menton is world famous for it's citrus fruits production amongst which lemons and mandarins are the most produced. I visited this beautiful shop called Côté ...

I never expected to see so many succulents while in Menton. While strolling through the old village, came across this gorgeous sight! It was in full bloom. Can someone please tell me the name of this plant?

mountain park is about 30 kms from Grenoble.

Loved this Winter wonderland! I don't know how to ski but still it was so much fun to go up by the télésiège at 2250 meters and enjoy the panoramic view. There is also a restaurant that offers traditional french food. We also have a guest vlogger this time. He is none other than, Maxime! 😋

We visited this beautiful Chamrousse Ski Station and went up to 2250 meters with the telecahin! Such an exhilarating experience! We even had lunch at Restaur...

Ok gotta be honest with you. Before moving to France the french food, as hyped all over the world, seemed something very appealing! After coming to France, I realised that it's not vegetarian friendly and certainly not suited to South asian pallettes. In Asia food is based on spices and different types of chillies. On the contrary, here I see french people using a lot of milk based products like cream, cheese, butter their cooking. Which makes the food very heavy and a bomb of calories. Ok now that's all the negative stuff.

Coming to the positives. There are a few dishes/ingredients that I do appreciate. One of them being the classic Ratatouille. Extremely simple to make. It's nothing but some good quality cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and tomatoes, onions, aubergine, zucchini and red peppers being cooked in it for a long time so that the veggies release their natural sugars. This dish is so comforting on a rainy day. They consider it as a summer dish. For me it's more of a cold weather, cozy dish. I added some pecorino Romano on top which my husband rejected as he says ,"Fromage avec ça ? Jamais!" 😋 And some fresh baguette dipped in those juices. Yummm! Have you tried it? Did you like it?

Now if you swipe for the second image, I am just trying to promote composting. I never composted in India or in the US. I never even recycled anything. I feel guilty but there was no infrastructure for it. I have learnt how important it is to think about the planet and make small adjustments in our lives to create a more ecological future. Do you compost?

Who loves Vin Chaud? 🙋🏻‍♀️ 🍷

I learned about the tradition of the
Beaujolais Nouveau day this year. What better way to drink it than turning it into a cozy Vin Chaud!




*Drink Responsibly

I love how the French really ENJOY drinking and CELEBRATING their wines in the truest sense! Beaujolais Nouveau kicks off the yet another drinking season rig...

About 45 minutes from Grenoble, Château de Virieu / Castle of Virieu stands tall since 11th century.
Even today it is occupied by the Virieu family. Here is a compilation of what we saw around the castle and inside with the guided tour!
I have a guest vlogger (Maxime) giving you more info on it in French. Make sure to turn the subtitles on in English!
