Global Pairings... It’s Tea & Cheese for a Dry State



We have been hearing about wine and cheese gatherings.. That’s quite an old fashioned way to throw parties. Ahmedabad with their growing taste for Global cuisine identified yet another way to celebrate without alcohol. Wine gets replaced by tea, sounds quite fascinating.. It actually is!!

Soho il Forno a newly opened restaurant on S G Highway, organised this unique concept based get together where varieties of exotic teas from across the globe were served with various world famous versions of cheese. Like wine and cheese are a good pair, complement the sharp taste of tannins in wine with lactose in cheese; same story goes with tea.

Premium and assorted versions of teas from various continents were served by Karma Kettle, a brand from Kolkata. Alluring names capture your attention even more, to know more and try more.. Nightingale, Maya, Big Ben, Moksha and many more.. the blends are just not about only variety of teas but tisanes too. The blooming colours in liquid delight prepared from their fruity floral range like lavender, marigold, lotus, jasmine, hibiscus, orange, apple, strawberries and rose, to name a few.. are equally aromatic, each carrying their own distinct notes and flavours.


The Global Cheese Platter again had their age to flaunt... more the better. 




Blue Cheese, coloured mild cheddar, Gouda, smoked processed, hard cheese etc. Brought in by Cheese Solutions and more was another attraction; complemented by breads and cakes from Healthy Browns.

Sands to Skyscrapers: Dubai’s Architectural Marvels

A New Dawn in the Desert By: Kulveen Narula “The future belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it. It isn't something  you await, but rather create.” — H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum A t the turn of the millennium, while the world was celebrating the arrival of Y2K , a quiet revolution had begun brewing in the Middle East.
