At the table
Dining under an open sky
Meals that move with the day, cooked close to the land and served wherever the evening is loveliest.
From field to fire
Cooked close to the land
Our kitchen looks no further than it has to. Millet and maize from the surrounding fields, vegetables from the village, spice ground fresh each morning, and slow Rajasthani cooking over open flame. There is no fixed dining room and no fixed hour: breakfast might be laid out on a warm rock after the morning drive, lunch beneath a lone tree, dinner by lantern in a dry riverbed under the stars.
By day
The Dining Deck
An open-air deck raised above the plains, where breakfast arrives with the first drive back and long lunches stretch into the afternoon. The whole of the sky for a ceiling, and the hills for a view.
By firelight
Dinner in the rocks
When the night turns cool the camp gathers in a hollow of the boulders, lanterns strung overhead and a fire at the centre. It is the oldest kind of dining room — stone underfoot, flame in the middle, and a long table of unhurried Rajasthani cooking.
