Here is a little snippet “WHERE I’D EAT MY LAST MEAL – The menu at Rasam gives an introduction to the food and way of life of people in India that is one of the best I have seen.”

Each year Georgina and her husband, the sailing journalist and author W.M. Nixon who writes the County Introductions for the Guide, and supplies many of the photographs lead a team of fellow food writers and other qualified hospitality professionals who travel incognito to every county in Ireland checking that standards in recommended establishments are still up to scratch while also seeking out new recommendations that their readers will enjoy, ultimately providing a comprehensive critical coverage for the entire country.

Here is a little taste of the review “All round, for a great Indian dining experience, Rasam has earned its place right at the top of the league.”

“Owner Nisheeth Tak and head chef Dayal Negi create magic – delicious magic – in Rasam, one of the best loved restaurants in Dublin.
Rasam was ahead of the pack when it opened in 2003, and first offered Dubliners the true tastes, flavours and spices of the Indian sub-Continent. Whilst Rasam was an eye-opening experience then, its great strength has been to maintain that level of enchantment for the customers who eat here, many of whom are regulars dating back to the early days. Mr Tak and Mr Negi take nothing for granted, and so Rasam dazzles us not just because the cooking is so special, but also because the service, the wines, the ambience, the comfort, the style, the solicitousness, are all so special. Rasam manages to make every customer feel that a meal here is always a special event, even if it’s a quiet Tuesday evening in January. They are wizards of the arts of cooking and hospitality and, for very many food lovers, Rasam is the first choice when you want a truly memorable experience of authentic cooking.”

The Guide meticulously researches and gives objective recommendations on 2,100 restaurants and 1,700 hotels across the UK & Ireland.  Local, anonymous, professional inspectors use the renowned Michelin food star rating system to create the restaurant selection. Only the best make the cut, so travelers can feel confident in their choices.  We are thrilled to be included in such a prestigious group.

Turmeric
Turmeric is one of the ingredients found within popular curry powder blends and whilst it is a tasty little spice, it also has some pretty impressive anti-inflammatory abilities too. Turmeric contains curcumin which has been shown to inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells and even protect against colon and stomach cancer too.

Ginger
When it comes to settling a disgruntled stomach, many people turn to ginger. However, what they may not realise is that this popular spice can also help when you the feel the burn after a workout. Studies have shown that people who consume just one teaspoon of ground ginger a day for 11 days saw a 25% reduction in the pain they felt after a workout. This is because it contains gingerol, a chemical that is thought to reduce inflammation and block pain signals being sent to the brain.

Cinnamon
If you find yourself struggling with a diet plan and yo-yoing in weight, perhaps cinnamon might have the answer for you. It is believed that the antioxidant compounds in cinnamon will change the way your body metabolizes glucose. This means that it keeps your blood sugar levels at an even keel and stops you feeling those cravings and hunger pangs.

Cumin
Believe it or not, but cumin seeds provide you with 22% of your daily iron requirement. Iron, is key for keeping up your energy levels as well as ensuring that your immune system is ready to take down any illnesses that may try and attack it!

Fenugreek
Due to its estrogen-like properties, fenugreek seeds have been found to help lessen the effect of hot flashes and mood fluctuations that are common symptoms of menopause and PMS. In India and China it has also been used to treat arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, improve digestion, maintain a healthy metabolism, cure skin problems (wounds, rashes and boils), treat sore throat, and cure acid reflux. So a definite all rounder.

Black Salt (Kala Namak)
This special salt is found in the Himalayan mountain ranges and has some excellent health benefits that you should know about. In India, black salt is often prescribed for patients with high blood pressure or those who require a low-salt diet. Why? Because black salt is low on sodium, and so doesn’t raise the blood pressure like normal salt does.

So there you have it, a collection of mask wearing crusaders who can make sure you feel fabulous! Why not pop them in your spice rack and see what health boosting culinary delights you can create with them?
