Everyone's Chit-Chaating Over 'Chai!

Either you've experienced it first hand or heard about my sister Rumin's culinary talents. She is an AMAZING chef. I am not saying this because she is my sister. I will admit, she does come from a family with superb skills in the kitchen (somehow, I got only 1/3 of these genes!). The thing is, you can give Rumin three random ingredients...say chicken fat, Brussels sprouts and anchovies and she'll create something you'll crave for months, years even!

So why am I telling you this? To torture you? A little. There is a point, folks. After someone has a taste of one of Rumin's many amazing meals, they usually give a good belch and then say "damn that was good! You should open up a restaurant or become a chef." Alright, alright. They don't belch (I do), and they don't say "damn" --you know I added that in! BUT they usually murmur something about her unique talents and chef-like skills in their food coma-like state.

Although Rumin has no plans to open up a proper restaurant, she has decided to make her Chit Chaat Chai fantasy come true. My sister is going to run a Speakeasy restaurant once a month (!!!) out of her lovely home in the LBC. She will showcase her delicious talents, creating tasty meals from the Kathiwar region of North India. Obviously, its not only about the food, but also things like dining experience, "Chaat"-ing....alright, alright. Who am I kidding? You know its all about the food for me! Anyway, you can find out more information on her blog, where you can also RSVP and see sample menus.
