Molecular gastronomy is all about conserving the natural flavours, including the texture, of the food...
Cooking a new story!
Other than fashion and Aamir Khan, who manage to redefine themselves (read the growing number of fashion shows and Aamir Khan’s sizzling item number in Delli Belly) each time, there is another category that works on the similar funda of offering something new. Please take a dip into the scientific and tantalizing world of chefs and their new offering - molecular gastronomy.
If your mother or grandmother out there is wondering about the new ingredient - ‘molecule’ - then this is what chefs in the city have to offer. As we switch on the burner, here is a quick run on what the word means.
Wine and Dine
From holding the glass to sipping it, drinking wine demands a certain level of sophistication. Here are some points that will add up to the whole experience of wine drinking
Are you the kind who thinks Sauvignon Blanc was a French dictator? Yes, we’ve all heard the rule that red wine goes with red meat, but that isn’t all about it. Getting through the wine and fine dine evenings can be a tricky business, especially if you haven’t been around the entire town attending wine and cheese soirees. Wine etiquettes are no big deal, till you get them wrong! This should be more than enough to last your date with the swirl of sophistication.

Rakshandha Khan
It is not easy to shoot and observe a fast yet I do it because I want to. It is all about your belief and faith. I have been keeping this fast since childhood. On the sets of my show, we all eat together but I don't sit in my room during lunch as I am fasting because I feel it shouldn't matter if others are eating while you fast. I am mentally tuned to fast so I don't feel hungry.
Stars on the Fast lane
The auspicious month of Ramzan is almost ending and our busy television stars have been keeping rozas despite hectic schedules. Here a few of them talk about their belief and managing shooting and fasting, and what they eat post their fast.

Bond that matters
The style of parenting is one of the strongest influences on how much alcohol a child will drink as a teenager and young adult, a new study has found.

Mirror on the wall
Things we all hate about shopping are the queues for the change-rooms, and having to juggle between hangers, clothes and bags, once inside. Which is why Britain's biggest department store chain is preparing to unveil a 'magic mirror' that can superimpose new outfits over your reflection.
The bunker shot
Once we are able to make a consistent impact with the sand approximately two inches behind the ball and get the sand to fly out to the green we should be able to get the ball on to the green in our first attempt. This itself removes the fear of the bunker and allows us to play more freely. To get better at bunker shots there are some subtle changes in technique.

The trend of roping in your B-town best friends is here to stay . We take a look at the celebs who walked the ramp at some of the recent fashion weeks...
The Showstopper
Spunk quotient: Kalki Koechlin
Flair for fashion
Kalki Koechlin for Babita Malkani: The spunky actor has a flair for fashion. She wears a fierce creation by Babita Malkani and pulls off the dress embellished with hardware raw materials. The pixie-faced actor has the right attitude and looks confident. |
Ramp scorcher: Rageshwari
Well co-ordinated
Rageshwari for Ktha by Pallavi Goenka: The stylish singer looks the part of a gypsy. She is in shape and looks good in the revealing top. Her look has been put together quite well and she looks good. We also give thumbs up to the way her hair has been done. |
Thumbs down: Prachi Desai
Lost impressions
Prachi Desai for Neeta Lulla: Neither is the petite actor looking ravishing nor is her outfit anything to write home about. Clearly, we aren't impressed. The entire styling makes her look weighed down. She could have certainly done better. |
Walking about: Neha Dhupia
Romancing the ramp
Neha Dhupia for Pam and Arch London: She is superb on the ramp. There is so much going on with her look and she carries it all off with elan. Her look has a vintage touch and she lets that shine through. |
Turning heads: Sonal Chauhan
Simply stunning
Sonal Chauhan for Rina Dhaka: We have to admit that she looks good. We love the hair and simple make-up. Even the outfit is balanced. The top is heavy and the light ghaghra complements it.— HRM |
