I wrote my First Cookbook

I am beyond excited to share with you a secret that I’ve been holding on to for more than a year. I’ve been missing on and off from this space and now I can reveal to you what I’ve been really upto. I wrote a cookbook! It’s really emotional not only because I completed 10 years of my blogging and baking journey this year but also because this book is the a great testament that one can achieve anything when they set their heart upon it.

When I moved to Australia, my twin boys were toddlers, they were my priority. We could only carry so much and left behind a lifetime of belongings behind in our home country, India. The only baking pan I carried with me changed my life. In the first few months in a new country I baked to survive the lonliness and the exhaustion using that pan. My one pan cakes became a signature of my blog. And so there was no better subject to write on than something that makes me happy every single day and has delighted many of my followers based on the love and feedback I have received over the years.

A simple, beautiful one layered cake is more diverse than you can imagine. Drizzle them with syrups, frost them, glaze them, booze them up, decorate them with a variety of ingredients, top them with interesting combinations of crumbles, poached fruit or flowers. The sky is the limit! This book consistes of 60 recipes including cakes, cheesecakes, bavarians, loaf cakes, and dessert accessories. There is a chapter on botanicals – herbs and flowers that is my very favourite besides an entire chapter dedicated to alcohol based cakes. If you love cocktails, you will love my cake-tails (cocktails in cake form). There is a lot more but I will share them in the next few weeks.

My cookbook, Elegant One-Pan Cakes is releasing in USA and Canada on November 14th through Page Street Publishing and distributed by Macmillan publishers. You can preorder the book through my Cookbook Page here or the Cookbook option on the menubar on the top. It’s available on Amazon and most onilne bookstores and will be on display in stores on November 14th . It’s due to release in the UK and Australia a few weeks from then but preorders can be done now.
My friends and readers in the USA, I will rely on you to share your feedback and stories with me while I wait to view the action in person In Australia.

This book is truly a labour of love and I am confident that you will feel the love when you browse through pages and make these cakes for your loved ones.
