On 5th August, Sunday, I did a knowledge sharing session at the Small Bites Children Dental Clinic The session covered aspects of how to explore the route to using natural and healthy forms of sweeteners.

Kids who go everywhere & Gluten-free Quinoa Dark Chocolate Cake
I met a friend for lunch today. We do some freelance work together, which her firm leads and one of the things she asked me while we chatted was about where we leave our children when we want to go out, just my husband and me. My reply ( almost too quickly!) was “We don’t…

Unsung Heroes & Gluten-free Buckwheat Flour Chocolate & Banana Cake
Bangalore, April 2012. We had just moved to a city we didn’t know anyone in. Mala Didi, 60+ years old came to our home, asked if I wanted help with cooking and since I hadn’t hired a cook before, I was a bit uncertain. But I had also discovered that day that I was pregnant…
Sports Days & Gluten-free, butter-free Brownies ( Millets-Amaranth)
For the first 12 years of my school life , I went to a school that did not have its own field. It was the best school that I could have gone to – inclusive , close-knit, encouraging and warm. But we didn’t have a field that we could call our own – our Sports…
Baked Jowar(Millet)-Oats Dark Chocolate Fudge Squares & How the Mind is more powerful…
Chanced upon this place in the heart of Bangalore and what a serene place it was , with a sense of purpose. A plant nursery by the Association of People with Disabilities, and the memory I will have imprinted on my mind is of a young boy without legs, expertly guiding us through the rows…
Football Buddies and Semolina Orange/Kinu Cupcakes
There is a moment of calm at the point where a super tiring day ends and a sleepless night begins – that moment is this picture for me. Football buddies don’t need to have the same shoes or shoes at all. They don’t need to speak the same language. They don’t need to wear similar…
Healthy baking exists….and a delicious Wholewheat Apple-Coconut cake ( with coconut sugar)
I had started this post on a separate note. Then something prompted me to re-write it. So here goes… About evolving times but stagnating taste buds. About oscillating between wellness and rules. Some of the views that I hear as a healthy baker are – healthy baking is a fad or what we consume through our…
Uncharted adventures, not milestones..and a Wholewheat Eggless, Butter-free Chocolate Almond Cake
This is not a regular Mother’s Day post – I am using this post to simply share my thoughts again – thoughts that I shared when my son ( and I !) turned 6 months old. More than anything else – what is exactly the same as I re-read this piece from May 2013, is…
Memories of a Walk and Gluten-free Butter-free 100% Almond Flour Cake with Raisins
When my son started going to a school that was close to home, I was very happy. That would mean a short travel time for him as well as me and the back and forth from school could be done quickly. At that stage, little did I realize that the same back-and-forth that I was keen…
Scaling up a venture & Wholewheat Chocolate Strawberry-Apricot Cake
How did you start your “venture” ? If you are a little bit like me, which means someone who takes it slow and steady ( and focuses on the l0w-investment channels !) then its likely you might have followed the arduous route of trying whatever little you understood of social media marketing. That would mean –…
3/11 City- Florence/Firenze, 3/11 Healthy Bake: Schiacciata Alla Fiorentina
I am not a painter, not one by a far stretch of imagination. My mother’s committed efforts to have a drawing and painting teacher come home and teach us regularly, given her own creative inclination did not yield much result. I can claim to have made one painting at the end of our learning phase….
