    LXV WINE - JOURNEY TO INDIA FEBRUARY 2015 Long before European countries woke up to the ‘incredible taste of fermented grape juice’, prehistoric Indian communities were fully conversant with the intoxicating wines they could distill from plants and fruits.

  • Food for Thought’ – MUI WW’S E-Recipe Book, Was Born
    Foreword “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well.” If you think of this world as a big bowl of soup, then we are all tiny ingredients tossed into this pretty hot soup called COVID 19! This pandemic has changed the definition of life, for almost all of us. We are living in times that will someday, be described in History books, as an extraordinary era of joblessness for most, overwork for many, disparity, loss, insecurity and global disruption of ‘normalcy’. For the Indian Seafarers and their families, this pandemic has been a challenging time where sign-offs got delayed, vacation plans got disrupted, planned surgeries were postponed, weddings and family functions cancelled. Fear and anxiety started rising. Loneliness-lead-depression started surfacing amongst not just the Seafarers, but also their families. Food became a source of comfort, a 'feel-good' element, a dependable friend, and also a tool to showcase individual creativity and innovation! The COVID Lockdown turned the occasional cook into an innovative chef. During this journey from Bon Voyage to Bon Appétit; home chefs, young and old, started dishing out new recipes while they tried their hand at experimenting with available ingredients. The wonderful compilation of recipes in this book is an ode to the Culinary Skills that have been honed amidst our seafaring families, throughout this lockdown period. We, at MUI-WW, began to observe a barrage of food pictures in our various groups across the country. Kitchen talk became a common language for bonding and continues to remain the trending topic throughout this lockdown.
