Got an invite to Alto Vino, Marriott, Whitefield, Bangalore for North Italy Food Festival with wine paring, loved the food and the event to the core. As every time Marriott rocks in its food, one of favorite hotels, every time you the food would be more and more delicious than I expect. Let me share my experience…

Our food started right from the salad – Vitello Tonato (Veal slow cooked and served with tuna and capers sauce), La Cisra (chickpeas coup and winter vegetables)- soup was too good, as the winter vegetables were cooked in the chickpeas boiled water, Branzillo alla livornese (marinated seabass, toasted in cherry tomato, olives, cappers and potato), Pannacotta alla fragalla (crunchy chocolate and strawberry pannacotta) – dessert was mind blowing, also there was chocolate shavings all over the plate which adds more beauty.

First there was a Blogger’s meet organized by MTR with Chef. Chandri Bhat, she shares her culinary secrets and origin stories of Karnataka cuisine. She demonstrated the preparation of a cashew fruit based curry with potatoes, a kheer which is prepared by steaming the rice dumplings and later simmered in coconut milk. I would say it was yum, heavenly and delicious.

More over the best part that I loved over there was, it was not only the food but also, she shared the history of the food and its preparation right from the idly, hayagreeva halwa to mysore pak.

I was astonished when she shared the secret of Idly as they were prepared by steaming the ground black lentils without fermentation. Also, she added that the authentic and traditional mysore pak was the one with pores and crispy, not the soft once. She did share about a treasured book (culinary) which was passed to her from her great grandmother. Loved the way she cooked, share the secrets and her experience in culinary world.

Also, there was stalls based on each and every region of Karnataka with their familiar food right from Mangalore till Kodagu. The food was great, loved it to the core – happy me and yummy tummy – as I got to have most of my favorite’s all together – Rava Idly, Thatte Idly, Bisibelebath, Masala Dosa, Tharvada peda and so on.

Food – They have both veg and non-veg dishes, all the dishes were too good and prepared very well. I would say that the rolls were perfectly done, as it was full of meat and very little onions and other stuffs – in short as the name the dish. Mutton and chicken was cooked to soft, tender and juicy, also they were marinated in a way that the masala got well marinated into the meat. Let me share the pictures and the food we had –
