Dark Chocolate Panna Cotta … simple pleasures of life

Dark Chocolate Panna Cotta 1This Dark Chocolate Panna Cotta recipe post is somewhat  special for me and I’ll just tell you why! Other than the dessert being drop dead delicious of course, the recipe share on my blog comes along as I struggle to feed my hungry blog. I’ve been traveling a bit of late, and sometimes things get too hectic. In the midst of all that the poor blog suffers.Chocolate Collage 1There was a time where if we had broadband network issues, I’d throw a royal fit, mope for hours and nothing at all would get done. I wouldn’t even feel like shooting the dessert I created because what was the point anyway thoughts ran through my head. All that’s now history and it’s thankfully been that way for a while. Honestly, once you get used to a good or rather a great network, life seems SO EASY! Of course it’s not a great idea to get addicted to the net, but if your work revolves around it, you need certain comfort levels that are assured, and my Airtel 4G network does more than that!Dark Chocolate Panna Cotta with mulberriesHmmm where do I begin? It’s to strange that when you begin thinking about how basics we take for granted make life so much better, it surprises you and how! Makes you think too! For something as simple as this blogpost, I wrote it up while sitting at the airport in Hyderabad a couple of nights ago. Just what I love about a dependable network. Transferred the images from my cell phone in seconds, and these are heavy files mind you. It was as easy as quick basic editing online, uploaded to the blog in seconds and I was good to go.Hyderabad, Old City, IndiaThe speed is great. I’ve used this network forever, and it just seems to get better and better. There’s no way I am changing it. In Hyderabad, I enjoyed snappy Airtel 4G speed, uploading stories non stop to my Instagram handle.Filter Kaapi , HyderabadAnd just a few days before Hyderabad, we visited Tanhau, a boutique resort in Ghweri, Uttarakhand. It was SO REMOTE that cell networks barely worked, yet even there I managed to download high res files from my wireless SD card to my cell, then shared them over wifi to stories on Instagram. A nice set of Tanhau Tales actually if you’d like to stop by and see the highlights on my Instagram handle!Ghweri, UttarakhandBeing connected all the time has made my life simple and my work stress-free, leaving me so much time where it matters. Anyone who depends on connectivity and networks will know what I mean.Dark Chocolate Panna Cotta I’ve made this recipe a couple of times already. It’s that good! Try it and tell me if you love it as much as I do! Why experiment when others have?Dark Chocolate Panna Cotta

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.
