The world had become a global village...which is wonderful. The types of culture and food we are exposed to now are like never before. Keeping with the times our food preferences have also changed but i am sure you will agree with me that some things take us back in time and bring back memories of childhood.
I had a similar experience a few weeks ago when i happened to visit the Delhi Parsee Anjuman for dinner. The food was nice...the patrani machhi was awesome but for me what stole the show was the pudding. The sweet memories of childhood came gushing......something i'm sure all of us have grown up eating and the pies, mousses, cheesecakes and other such desserts have this humble pudding. The plain baked pudding with plump raisins and a dark brown crust was truly the star of the evening.
It was an awesome experience. The fact that the simple things in life can give you the greatest pleasures, does bring a smile on one's face :)
You must really do recipes.
ReplyDeleteAlso, a question. Where do you get your baking supplies from in Delhi? Is it easy to find Dutch processed cocoa, vanilla beans, fondant, mascarpone, sprinkles, draggees etc there? Please do let me know.
I am thinking about putting up recipes and tips. Some of the speciality stores keep vanilla beans, mascarpone and cocoa but the supply is not constant. You can try INA market. As for fondant, i make my own and my sprinkles, colours and some flavourings are all imported.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and I am sure tastes better.
