One sugar company has given a whole new meaning to midnight feasts by creating the world’s first ediblehotel.
The first sweet-filled pop-up hotel opened its doors last night and two lucky residents munched their way through vanilla sponge cushions, windows and walls clad with 2,000 macaroons, a rug made from 1,081 meringues and 20 kilos of marshmallows.
The Soho-based guest house took a team of 14 cake makers more than 2,000 hours to bake and 900 hours to decorate, and was created using more than 600 kilos of sugar.
For one night only sweet-toothed guests chomped their way through windowsills built entirely from fudge and bathed in a bath filled with caramel-coated popcorn; there were even edible books on the bedside table.
With thousands of baked treats for the guests to nibble on and over 100 pieces of edible art on show across three floors and eight rooms, there’s no way the guests left the hotel feeling hungry.
The hotel was the brainchild of Tate & Lyle Sugars and was inspired by regions from around the world based on the brands eight new Fairtrade sugars.
Curated by ‘Miss Cakehead’ with the help of 14 cake artists including The Meringue Girls and Cake For Breakfast, each room was themed by a different sugar.

Anorexia is ‘(deriving from the Greek “α(ν)-” (a(n)-, a prefix that denotes absence) + “όρεξη” (orexe) = appetite) is the decreased sensation of appetite. While the term in non-scientific publications is often used interchangeably with anorexia nervosa, many possible causes exist for a decreased appetite, some of which may be harmless, while others indicate a serious clinical condition or pose a significant risk.(wiki)

In India Meals are not ‘rustled up’ or assembled in jiffy by adding some packaged foods, at least in the traditional Homes.
An Organised Kitchen would make even the most elaborate preparation can take only the least cooking time if the kitchen and the ingredients are well-organized.
In Indian Homes, especially in the South, we have a five partitioned container called ‘அஞ்சறைப்பெட்டி ‘ ,meaning Five- partitioned Container.

The fad of Dieting has assumed alarming proportions and it has affected even children between the Ages of 3 and 7!
As far as I know science has not proved beyond doubt that Dieting helps you as in the case of Exercises.
What is sure is the side effects which are life threatening.
I posted a blog on the adverse effects ‘Fruit Diet‘, when the daughter of my friend (28 years) collapsed and sixty-six year old father had to rush to drive her Home from her office!
Never ever attempt dieting(many may disagree,after all Industries are built on this myth).
Follow traditional food by your parents and Grand parents and engage in physical work that suits you.
“I felt sick. Physically ill. Like someone had knocked the air from my chest,” Amy Cheney wrote on the website Mamamia.
Dieting 7 Year Old!
Cheney said she found the diet listalongside her daughter’s Polly Pockets and friendship bracelets, but it is the girl’s spelling that poignantly highlights just how young she is.
Among the foods the girl was allowing herself to eat were:
– “appals”
-“keewee”
-“yoget”
The exercises on the list included:
-“pooshups”
-“16 star jumps 2 time a day”
-“rid my bike 3 time a day”
In her post, Cheney noted her daughter said she had learned about dieting from a 7-year-old friend.”
”
A recent study from Texas A & M also suggests that Cheney’s daughter’s decision to take up a diet after hearing about it from a friend isn’t altogether surprising. Researchers found that peer competition may contribute more significantly to adolescents adopting negative perceptions about their bodies than the media does.
There are also rare cases of children showing signs of anorexia as early as kindergarten. ABC News recently recounted a story about a kindergartner who confessed to her mother that she was always hungry.
