Gift a basket on Diwali, Christmas, Birthdays etc

2007/08/14 / 0 Comments

Thankfully the Indian summer and humid weather are on the way out. Its the time of the year when the festive season beckons…with Diwali and Christmas just round the corner and winter approaching, it’s fun to bake again. I sometimes do gift baskets for festivals like Diwali, and customise them too.

A jar of cookies, or wrapped cookies
A small loaf cake
Some candles, floating tea lights or ‘diyas’
Dry fruits
A small brass or terracotta idol if someone desires…

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.
