Sweet Celebrations: The Submissions Are In


A thank you to everyone who sent in submissions of your wonderful sweets and desserts to celebrate one year of my blogging here. Now there only remains the matter of getting the judges (my family – the moving force behind my blogging) to sit down and pick the winner. I shall post the round-up and the winner’s name in a week’s time.

In the meanwhile, it would only be fair to reveal the gift now that the celebrations are underway. One sweet/ dessert submission will win its sender Asha Khatau’s Vegetarian Cuisines of the World. This is a collection of vegetarian recipes from various countries across the world.




"For those who wish to savour new recipes, tastes and flavours, Asha Khatau presents this collection of vegetarian recipes. Featuring cuisines from around the world, the book contains a simple and accurate methodology and places an emphasis on proper, fresh ingredients. It treats each cuisine in a holistic manner which allows for complete menus to be selected from each section. A collective section on drinks and desserts exists to allow the cook to choose what they prefer to complement the main meal. It may come as a surprise that Indian cuisine does not feature in this collection of world cuisines. The omission is intentional as vegetarian Indian cuisine forms the content of Asha Khatau's second book."
