Baking Cum Serving Dishes ~ Nestasia

It is said that, the kitchen is the heart of the home and its not without a reason! Food binds us all together. 

The Food that is cooked with love should be tasty as well as appetizing to the eyes. Yes, half the food is consumed with the eye. Here is where companies like Nestasia come in.

They have some lovely collection of Bakeware and Serveware options that are the perfect accompaniments to your food.

These ceramic dishes that am featuring today are ideal for all your get togethers as well as for a casual display for your much needed tea time breaks.

The colours have my heart. Youthful and vibrant with stylish spouts, this ceramic plate can be used for baking or serving your favourite portion of pasta and what not!

These can be stored with ease, stacking one over the other or simply hung on a hook. Either mix n match colours or make a set of the same colour. Either ways, it adds cheer to your table.

Another one, which is a ceramic grill plate is microwave, oven and dishwasher safe. Available in a wide range of pastel and vibrant shades, these stole my heart the day they arrived. Cottage cheese fritters seemed extra tasty when served in them.

Want to add a good dose of colour to your table, then visit Nestasia and order yours today!

These are the other colours available. Tell me, which one is your favourite?

Decor at Vatsalya

As a decor blogger I just can't stop myself from sharing beautiful and thoughtfully done spaces!
Today's focus is on the decor of a restaurant. This cafe/ restaurant  Vatsalya - Millet Cafe is in my city Bengaluru and very close to my home.

This is an unique cafe cum restaurant, the specialty being its choice of food. It is a millet cafe. All the items are centered around millets. In today's times of junk food and binge food, this comes as a refreshing and novel concept. I loved their thaali and it was sure healthy treat all the way and as a topping on the cake was the earthy, natural decor of the place.Let me share some clicks that I could manage with my phone.

This is at the entrance, a very pleasing arrangement of greens welcomes you and as you step inside brass lamps are kept on either sides. Everyday arrangement includes decorating the uruli with fresh flowers and leaves from the garden outside the cafe.

As mass produced items flock the market,am drawn towards these traditional and olden method of cooking food in mud wares.In all possible shapes and sizes these were an absolute treat to see!!!

A very rustic feel is what you get inside the cafe. We have all modern day facilities now, wherein not much of physical strain is required to pound your grains but no one can deny the taste of a simple chutney which is made by using the  grinding stone!! Is your mouth watering??

This was the setting that forced me to write this post...A very simple yet eye catchy and earthy tone set by using ceramic pickle jars and terracotta urns...

Awesome isn't it? I loved the place and if you are like me, you will love it too! I assure that.

If after reading this post, you are tempted to visit this cafe, do let me know your experience as well!

Exhibition

I jump at the word exhibition,more so when it has anything to do with interiors.Yes, a visit to an exhibition rejuvenates me. Last week I had been to one.Irrespective of how much I bought I felt satisfied after I came back.There are so many small tips that you learn,so much eye candy and so much of talent and skill to be recognised, I truly felt worth the effort taken.

Night Bazaar

We were at this night bazaar in Hyderabad.It was amazing to see so many artisians at one place.
I bought whatever my pocket would allow and there I made a note in my mind,instead of buying from Hi-Fi shops and malls,I will try and buy intresting stuff from such places and encourage these artists who take so much pain,come from various states across India and exhibit their wares.

Truly Incredible India!!

Come on lets take an effort and not let these beautiful art forms fade away.
