Literally "Out of The Box"

With the constant innovation and revelations in the food industry in today's day and age, one is constantly on the lookout for newer and better things. Having said, here's another one that will definitely blow your mind!

OUT OF THE BOX (Wholesome gourmet kits delivered to your doorstep) -

The idea behind this being, a lot of people want to opt for homemade food but don't have the time to go and shop for all the ingredients, or don't know the proportions of the ingredients involved or just want to ease their cooking. According to me, these meal kits will revolutionize modern cooking to another level and make life easier for the modern homemakers.

Out of the Box is an answer to all the cooking dilemmas and makes the job of cooking, easier, hassle-free and quicker. Started by duo Kapil and Reshma Sanghi (owners of the picturesque Food for Thought cafe, it was started with a passion for wholesome and tasty food.

The process is pretty simple; all you have to do is log onto the website and pick a dish from the menu. OOTB will prepare a meal kit with pre-measured ingredients, absolutely free of preservatives, and deliver them to your doorstep with easy to follow recipe cards that have step-by-step instructions and images. All that's left to do is unearth the chef inside of you and enjoy a gourmet meal within the comfort of your own home.    

We tried 3 things - Paneer steak with red pepper sauce and corn succotash, cajun spiced mixed pepper pasta and mocha- butterscotch silk pudding.

Cardboard boxes with pre measured quantities of all the needed ingredients and easy to follow recipes stuck on the other side. If only cooking was that easy!

The part that I liked most was the fact that they sent everything down to the exact proportion and that all the ingredients were absolutely fresh. The boxes aren't heavy on the pockets and cost about 300, which is very reasonable as every dish serves two. 

Our favorite would be the mocha - butterscotch silk pudding as it one of the simplest, and most delicious desserts you can whip up at home in absolutely no time! The name does full justice as the texture of the pudding is like silk in your mouth; it melts off instantly.

Would I call for more gourmet kits? Definitely!

Sunday Brunching with Vinod Cookware

                 5th June -  just a normal Friday evening, anticipating how the weekend is gonna be. Suddenly someone hits me up on my email account and surprise surprise! It's an FBAI invite for a Sunday Brunch at Out of the Blue, Bandra with Vinod Cookware. Any food blogger would be really excited with the mention of FBAI, and so was I!

Besides being an FBAI meet, this was one by Vinod Cookware. 

Vinod Cookware, having started in 1962, has long flourished since then. Almost every household has these single bottom, user friendly utensils. As they reduce the cooking time by 20%, they're the most preferred household items by modern housewives for faster and simpler cooking. 

Promoting the concept of "It's about how you cook and not about how you eat," Vinod Cookware has definitely been a favorite among the women and has been ruling the marketplace because of the thought and effort put into each product for better, smarter and healthier cooking. 

One product that we've been using and would be recommended by us (Rather, my mom) would be their pressure cookers. Perfect for a long term use! 

This is their Pearl Range, which were given to all the bloggers. (Pretty thoughtful, na?)

We are already in love with these 3 because of their unique features like - 

The isstick resistant feature naturally repels the stickiest food letting you cook without any hassle. The non – porous base which enables it to resist sticking without letting the food to get burnt or over cooked.  No matter what you prepare the even heat distribution allows you to cook till perfection without leaving the food uncooked. The isstick resistant feature and the non- porous base increases the durability of the product lending it a longer life span which is acceptable in 

Indian home. Keeping the traditional cooking and cleaning in mind the tough body of black pearl is resistant to abrasive pads and doesn’t corrode or rust with tamarind or acidic food. 

An amazing experience, some decent food, really friendly people and a lot of knowledge taken back from this hell of a time!

Gobble on.
