Ask anyone in this whole world and no one will be able to deny the fact that Nutella is love.

While some people eat it the way it is, some add it to different foods to enhance the taste. But why is it that nothing else in this world is as chocolaty as Nutella?

There is surely something different about it and since the day I have had Nutella, I have never liked any other form of chocolate. Not just that, I have tried almost every dish that is made of Nutella because the experiment is totally worth the taste that we get.

So, how many dishes have you tried?

Well, have a look at these scrumptious pictures of things made of Nutella that will make you drool right away and tell me if you have ever tried any.

Things made of Nutella –

1 – I am sure that this Nutella cupcake is as devil as it looks like because the calories cannot be forgiven but compensated by the taste.

2 – Wow! Who wouldn’t want to wake up with such Nutella filled breakfasts every day, huh?

3 – Only if these were the ladddoos that Mom made for us. I would definitely go to the temple every day.

4 – You must have had a lot of sandwiches but a sandwich made of Nutella is something unbeatable, right?

5 – These cookies are bound to kill one or two who haven’t tried them yet.

6 – I am sure that this cake has given you major cake goals for your next birthday.

7 – These are sinfully scrumptious and it is very hard for us to keep a count of calories for them.

These are the things made of Nutella – So, have you tried any of them? If not, then let me tell you that you have been missing out on too much and you need to have them right now.

Animal products – What if I tell you that you can eat as much meat you want, consume as many leather products you love and no animals will be harmed for it?

Obviously you will feel happy that finally you can ask your animal lover friends to rest their cases and let you do what you want because you are no more harming any animal.

But, aren’t you wondering how’s that possible?

No, I am not here to present a magic trick on this notion but a scientific research by Modern Meadows that has now started creating animal products in a laboratory with the help of bio-fabrication. All that the scientists are doing is taking biopsies sample of an animal and then multiplying the cells in their laboratory to create meat and then turning it into the desired product.

Basically, no sin!

The idea behind this Brooklyn based laboratory, Modern Meadow, was to save animals as well as fulfill the wishes of a normal consumer who loves animal products, meat and leather.

The first leather prototype of the company came out in 2013 and was a success.

That is why they started working towards more with the help of expert designers, artisans, scientists, chefs, etc.

In 2015, the company also got its first big funding of $10 million by Li Ka-Shing’s Horizon Ventures.

This great initiative by Modern Meadow is truly one of its kind and once it comes out in the market, it is surely going to be a true hit amongst animal lovers. Though the initiative is good, the production is quite difficult and it takes 1-2 months for producing 1 square feet of leather. Also, the softness of leather will be the same but won’t have the scratches and rough look of the real leather products. This is why experts at Modern Meadow are still working towards the same and the products are yet to be launched in the market for consumers.

So, it’s not just about eating the meat but everything else that consists of animal slaughtering. After knowing that no animals will be killed for a meat, will you consume it finally?

Let me first clarify the difference between real food and processed food.

Real foods are in their original form. Like ripe mangoes directly plucked from tree and eat.

Similarly all types of vegetables, fruits, cereals, pulses, leaves, roots, nuts, seed everything are real food. Even after cooking and preparing packaged foods like pickle are also real foods. Mechanically prepared foods are all real.

Then what are called as processed food. All chemically prepared foods are termed as Processed Food. Foods processed with chemicals and adding artificial color, textures etc are all processed.

Some Example of processed foods is Pizza, Burger, Roll, Cake, Pasta, Cookies etc.

Harmful Chemicals use in Processed Food:

Processed foods are flooded with harmful chemicals. All are highly carcinogenic and increase the cancer causing chance in our body.

However recently” Maggie” found with high dose harmful chemicals in its noodles. The Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) found in Maggie is a dangerous chemical which damaged our kidney.

For some, wine is just an alcoholic beverage, but for others it is a lifestyle, a gastronomic adventure, or probably a sophisticated means of commemorating a special occasion.

There cannot possibly be an occasion of celebration that doesn’t deserve a glass of fine wine.

However, with over 1300 varietals of wine, getting the right ones to serve with dinner may seem a daunting task. Especially for those who have little or no info on the wines.

Here we bring you a detailed insight on the wines and the right way of tasting and serving them.

Let’s be a pro at wines and fine dinning!

To start with, wines come in a variety of flavours.

From dry to sweet, each wine has a distinct flavour and level of sweetness. While high-tannin wines induce drying out of the mouth, round wines offer balanced acidity. Spicy wines, on the other hand, possess a high alcohol content. Further, it is also essential to pair the drink with the right food to bring out the best characteristics of the wine.

For starters, listed below are the basic types of wine:

Red Wine:

Ranging from Light Red to Medium Red & Bold Red, the Red Wine is a still wine produced from black grapes. Revered as the most classic in the family of wines, this drink deliciously combines red grapes with oak, chocolate, eucalypti, and other exotic aromas. Varieties include Merlot, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

White Wine:

With flavours of creamy to zesty, White Wine is a preparation of green or black grapes and span from Dry White to Sweet White & Rich White. The famous varieties are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Riesling.

Rose Wine:

Boasting of crisp to light aromas and dry to sweet flavours, Rose Wine is a sumptuous blending of Red & White Wine together. This wine making style may also involve including the grape skin for the first few hours of the fermentation process. Common Rose Wines are Zinfandel Blush, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon.

Sparkling Wine:

Flaunting a bubbly texture, this wine adds a dash of luxury to a Red, White, or Rose Wine. The popular variants are Champagne and Cava.

Fortified Wine:

Fortified with Brandy or other spirits, this variant offers a sweet or dry-style taste. The wide palette of Fortified Wine includes Port, Sherry, Madiera, Marsala, Vermouth, and Bum Wine.

Dessert Wine:

As the name suggests, these wines are sweet in taste and primarily served with dessert. Ice Wine, Raisin Wine, and Noble Rot Wine are the major categories of Dessert Wine.

Now, that we have learnt about the principal varieties of the beverage, let’s hop on to the correct food & wine pairings for celebrating special occasions with fun & fervour.

Below is an insight on Party Wine recommendations and accompaniments:

1. One should always remember that bitter wine with bitter food is equivalent to a bad taste. With a high-tannin wine, one should opt for fatty & chewy food such as chicken or steak.

2. To avoid a flabby flavour, the wine should have a higher acidity content as compared to the food. For instance, a salad with vinaigrette works wonders with Champagne, but ruins the taste when served with Chardonnay.

3. Wines with a hint of sweetness perfectly complement baked, smoked, or honeyed hams. Riesling & Pinot Noir are great choices.

4. Sauvignon Blanc is by far the best White Wine pick for turkey & savoury sides.

5. While serving desserts, one should ensure that the wine tastes sweeter than the food. Port Wine is the perfect option for desserts.

From the popular French, Italian, Californian, to the United States, there is a myriad of wine specialities in the world to please various taste buds as well as suit the pocket.

The final decision, of course, depends upon an individual’s preference and budget.

Equipped with this knowledge, you are now all set to take the wine and fine dining with a touch of class.
