FOOD & CREATIVITY…ART YOU EAT #1-CHOCOLATE!
My canvas on chocolate…Julia Child’s words ring so true!
Holly’s had an idea: “We all want our creations to look as wonderful as they taste and there are tons of absolutely gorgeous examples out there of the amazing creations that all you beautiful bloggers create. Why not hold an event that shares the decorating and presentation tips as well as the food? After all, if someone is going to try to recreate your masterpiece, shouldn’t it look spectacular too?” YES!! 
My mantra…’Do It From Scratch’! It must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too!
Great idea…I think food as an art rocks! A platform for creativity & just my kind of therapeutic pleasure!
Chocolate Strawberry Cake…Quite the Ultimate Combination
Since Valentine’s Day is almost here – and because it is what it is – Holly chose CHOCOLATE to kick this off with. This means chocolate in any type, but not cocoa. She wants to see what you can do with the stuff you melt, or chop, or curl, or mould, or whatever.
There you go Holly…this is what I did! 
Once the honours were done…peep inside the cake!
The final one…a slice of cake!

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.

That cake just looks great. I am not a baker myself. I am more into cooking dishes. I finished a short course on baking and pastry skills and i loved it. I did a similar chocolate cake and guess what that was the first one ever. I just enjoyed the results. Great Job!
