BAKER’S DAY IN!

Life goes on…with stormy days that follow calm seas! Did I say 2 days ago that I was itching to bake after a 3-day no-bake gap? When it rains it pours, and thus in my case too. Today was a tiring day…I was literally on my toes from the word go. Before I knew it, it was past 2pm, and I raced off to get the kids from school. HUFF PUFF!

CHOCOLATE SPONGE CAKE WITH A GANACHE ICING
First made a cake on request for my household helps son, who requested a cake from no other than ‘only madam’ (in his words). I was honoured! It is his birthday tomorrow, and the little fellow is more excited than words can say. So I baked this chocolate cake for him…recipe shall follow in a couple of days.

DATE & WALNUT WHOLE-WHEAT LOAF WITHOUT SUGAR
Next was a request from a teacher in the kids’ school who is on a restricted diet…very restricted indeed. She pleaded me to make her something with just whole-wheat flour, no sugar, no fat. Of course, I asked her to have a go at a sack of flour as it sounded impossible! Put my thinking cap on…came up with the only alternative I could offer – ‘Date & Walnut Whole-wheat Loaf’. Its made, looking fine & the taste is a BIG ? mark. Recipe will not be posted because am not sure if I can ever get that healthy & bring myself to have a bite!! ( If I get to hear good about it, am willing to post the recipe if required though)

BISCOTTI IN 2 TONES
And then of course, simple ole biscotti that we all love at home. Recipe has been posted before. The only change is that I used walnuts & chocolate chips in one half; the other half with cranberries & pistachios remained the same.
PHEW…what a looooooong day. Tomorrow seems even longer with a bunch of muffins to be made for a play schools’ Christmas party later this week…but that’s another story. Good night for now & sweet dreams!

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.
