Everyday equations of an Indian kitchen does not match with baking. Though I keep my gaga song of blissful baking alive, and I am aware of the fact that we Indians are occasional bakers.

Or if someone is extremely passionate about creating those kind sophisticated […]

Mumbaikars have nostalgia for Irani bakery mawa cakes. Centuries-old venerable relation with mawa cakes has sustained and will never retire. The soft, buttery, cardamom-infused teacakes in silver foil trays, sometimes wrapped in wax papers are heartwarming. A staple in Irani cafes and bakeries has created an eternal harmony with our taste buds. Mawa cake has a strong presence of Indian flavours. Cardamom being one of the prominent biffs in a mawa cake, it opens more room to play around using […]

Eggless cream cheese pound cake, won’t be an appropriate name, because traditionally a pound cake had a pound of each of four ingredients — flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. Pound cake, originated in Europe in the first half of the 18th century, initially weighed four pounds. We have preserved the original, simple-to-remember-ratio of this recipe and yet we have driven it to a contemporary time bringing-in a […]

I am trying to bring-in certain lifestyle changes. I have been baking healthy for a […]

Long back, when we got married, the first thing I baked for my husband was a red velvet cake for his birthday. It was a very simple cake with no frills attached and he loved it because it was made with love. We still have that love alive, but to confess; anything I bake today for him, I make him wait till I take photographs and I am satisfied with the outcome from the camera. What a crazy wife, I […]
