For all those looking for a Perfect New Year Weekend Brunch, California Pizza Kitchen is “the” place to be. After serving Foodoholics in Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai, CPK has launched its outlet with the help of the brand’s master franchisee JSM Corporation in Gurgaon, DLF Cyber Hub. Team Guiltybytes was invited for the inauguratory lunch. The super lunch was presided over by the Global Brand Ambassador for Franchise Operations of the International chain, Chef Justin Parras.

Does your world revolve around the same question as mine- 'Aaj Khaane Mei Kya Hia?' Do you dream about tasty, yummy and mouthwatering food on a Thursday evening after work? Do you love the whole idea of quick, express meals? Well in that case, say hello to www.tastykhana.in, one of the first websites started to order food online in India for home delivery and takeaway in cities namely Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad.

There can't be a better feeling than a hearty meal with the entire big fat family on a diwali weekend. So as I chanced upon this all new food website, I browsed it in and out before deciding on my meal for the night. If I were to pick one USP of this site, without a doubt it would be it's customer support team and the constant follow up the team does while tracing the order once you have placed it. 

So I admit, the website was a bit slow while I was trying to sign up on it, but then I guess, all tasty things come with great patience in life! I signed up and then began my culinary shopping journey, hell yeah! It was like shopping for food online. The number of eateries listed aren't many but the ones that are there cover all the section of cuisines- Indian, Chinese, Continental, fast Food, Express food and more. So there are a good number of eatries to choose from. One can also select their location, followed by browsing menus, choose the cuisine from the menu, add it to their cart followed by checkout. Yep, It's that simple. 

Another really cool feature is the way the menu has been presented. So you have a popular tab that boasts of the most popular dishes from a restaurant which is more like the bestsellers of a clothing brand followed by your preference of dishes. Mr. Shachin Bharadwaj, CEO & founder at TastyKhana says,"TastyKhana focuses on the most important aspect of food ordering – fulfilment. Our business sells convenience and users need to see that ordering food online is much more easier and convenient than phone ordering. So TastyKhana differentiates itself by providing guarantees on service. If a user opts to order food online via TastyKhana, he need not worry about being over charged, late delivery or restaurant issues, we take care of all issues. Everybody else in their terms and conditions first highlight what they are not responsible for (late delivery, menu prices, quality etc), we simply say  “you have trusted us with your meal, we will make sure you won’t go hungry". Our True Kare guarantee is our biggest USP."

For a real foodie there cant be a better feeling than seeing a successful order on it's way. And did I tell you as soon as you place the order, you get an sms confirmation on the delivery and email stating your order details. If you have absolutely no patience, then a feature called as 'track your order' might be of your interest.  

So here's what the party looked like at my place! Wait no more and get cracking with your party/festive/late night/random food gatherings and place your order on tastykhana now. A little birdie also told me about these really cool Diwali offers they have where in you can order a meal for Rs.300+ with coupon code TKDIWALI101 and pay just Rs. 101/- for the first 400 orders. 

Will I be ordering again? A big yes without a doubt! Hope you guys enjoyed the review, in case you have any recommendations, do let me know by dropping your comment below. :)

I will admit, It took team Guiltybytes really long to share an event that was a one of the most memorable ones we have been a part of in the recent times. But as you know due to new blog projects and campaigns, we have been a little slow in our updates, but nevertheless here we are with a blast from the past!

So mom and I were the lucky ones chosen to cook with the much talked about appliance of the year, The Philips Airfryer! Like you all are aware, The food section on guiltybytes is taken care of by my better half, my mommy, this time too she created a recipe that was worth every bite. So If you are looking forward to a healthy recipe, cooked without oil, almost no oil, then you must follow the steps below, but of course you need to own an airfryer to get the best possible results ;)

Cooking Time: 18 mins

Calories: Approx 100 Calories

So what we really love about the Airfryer is that it cooks food really well, without any excessive use of the oil. Rajma Galouti Kebabs were very well done, crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside and they were mouth melting indeed. Of-course the kebabs needed a dap of oil (we choose to brush it up with olive oil) but it's the rapid air technology that circulates hot air around a grill component which basically cooks the food. The cooking time was about 18 mins, but we had to turn the kebab surface so that crust on both the sides cooks perfect. It's needed to preheat the airfryer before we actually put our food into it, but it's sure a thumbs up for anyone who is choosing to eat clean and cook healthy recipes! 

Say hello to Guiltfree mango Cheesecake :)

It takes efforts, concepts and skills to get a blog-post right! It's not about an image, it's about a concept to be bale to get through people and entice them with a fancy form of writing, but anyway this post is out of sheer love, sheer love for everything sweet and my curves. Yes it was about time I  looked after my curvy tales and in this last season of mangoes, I indulged in this healthy awesomeness.  Read more for the recipe-

The lovely ingredients you need for this guilt-free cheesecake are- Parle G biscuits2 packets, you can opt for mcvities in-case you want to completely cut down on calories, you need hung yogurt 2 cups, hang it so that you get water free, creamy texture. Yogurt is the main ingredient so make sure you use a fresh one! You need mangoes 2 would suffice, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 tsp gelatine and sugar-free sweetness-1/2 cup. I have opted for sugar free because I am keeping a check on the additional sugar flowing freely in my body!  

There are two steps coupled in the picture above. Firstly churn all the biscuits in a mixer and add coco powder 2 table spoon in it. Add 1 tspn butter in order to get the mixture a bit gooey so that it sticks to the baking tray. Then place it on the pan like a layer. In the next step, mix sugar-free and yogurt together along with mango paste. While you add sugar, you will realize appearance of water in the mixture but dont worry just cut and fold the mix. 

Pour the mixture well and put it in fridge to freeze (overnight). Your mixture will look like this and because of gelatin you will feel the mixture maybe a bit wobbly, if it is, then its perfect to set! 

Okay I know my knife skills need improvement but hey it tasted awesome. So yes once it is set overnight, garnish it with mangoes and try different patterns, like flowers or shapes as per your choice and indulge in this #guiltfree delight happily!
