Most travellers compile their blog along the way. We, on the other hand, didn't get around to it until now. (I haven't even unpacked yet, although I am planning on doing that tomorrow)
No, it's not because we were so busy seeing this site and that site, on the beaten track of sites to be seen, it's because we didn't really plan for it. But we did have a lot of "sitting in one spot long enough to jot down a few notes" and "take a few snaps" travelling on the trains ... watching the amazing landscape wizz by (and sometimes stop for verrrry long periods of time in the middle of nowhere) and meeting the wonderful, resliant people along the way.
So, from my journal entries and Niki's unique observations of this Mother of all continents, together with our photographs, we promise to "fill you in" on what did for that month we were'nt around.
(urvasi devi dasi 23/3/07, very late, still not back on Oz time)
Culinary Escapades is about vegetarian food and the journey Niki McLeod and Urvasi devi dasi made throughout South India during February/March of 2007.
They started their journey in India's most cosmopolitan city, Mumbai in Maharastra on 18th February 2007, and then continued down the west coast to Goa (to recover from Mumbai). From Goa they went on to Mysore in Karnataka, Cochin in Kerala, and then across to the east coast to Chennai and Mahabalipuram in Tamil Nadu, ending up finally in the sleepy village of Kuansh in Orissa.

Getting around by what is considered the biggest rail network in the world, Urvasi and Niki discovered the delights of India, her people, and the food they consume with a passion.
India is all about vegetarian food. It's colours. It's tastes. It's aromas. And the many and varied ways that it is grown, transported, sold and finally cooked and eaten.So sit back, pour yourself a cup of chai (see recepie in separate post) and follow this amazing adventure as they introduce you to the real India.
