A meal in a library with some of Europe’s oldest recipe books and menus is even more special because of the gourmet cooking class that precedes it

Last week, in the heart of Parma, that lovely region of Italy known for its ham and cheese amongst other things, I got a chance to live out my masterchef, er, apprentice dream!
Reviewing restaurants through the eyes of my child
By Anoothi Vishal
At Sirocco, the world-famous bar and restaurant in Bangkok, I had a rather interesting companion for dinner one night: My daughter Aaliya. A live jazz band, a luxury menu with modern European food and a lovely, candle-lit ambience—this, after all, is the world’s highest al fresco restaurant, the limited tables much sought after by wannabes and celebrities, including those from Hollywood, alike—make this one of the most romantic dining out places in Asia.

For that matter, neither has regional or “Muglai”-Punjabi succeeded in any high-end restaurant environs—other than perhaps the success of ITC restaurants like Bukhara and Dumpukht.
