A Briani Story
If Mauritius was a dish, wouldn't it be the #briani #biryani #briyani? Bringing so many spices, vegetables, rice and condiments together to create an outburst of flavours that pleases the eyes, the nose, the mouth and somehow the mind - it provides comfort, warmth and an unmatched beautiful feeling of satisfaction. It is so much diversity into one dish, creating a splendid medley.
Wedding Flavours – a photo series

Three Rices For The Season
Rice is undeniably the Mauritian staple but too often eaten the same way and simply used to accompany currys and other dishes.

Here are three rices, very famous in South India, that could very well be Mauritian by all means and make way on those summer meal tables. They are made with ingredients readily available here and very easy to prepare. I propose you three rices for the season, summer. The three rices can be eaten together in small portions each in a same meal, or consumed individually and accompanied by countless dishes. Enjoy!

Imagine a crunchy slice of baguette, toasted with extra virgin olive oil and garlic on which rests a fresh melange of tomatoes, onions, cilantro (coriander leaves), mint, and bits of, YES! the famous 'Gato Pima'! Sounds good, doesn't it?
