Hello Tribe, I’m Cheryl Rajkumar, owner of Kitchen Kemistry food blog, scratch baker, home cook, food content creator, recipe developer, intermediate hiker, adventure junkie, plant mom, pediatric cancer research professional and karma believer. My friends and family say that I have an innate ability to present a delicious meal on the table. A fearless contriver in my kitchen, I trust my senses than the recipes! I believe that endeavoring to make most things from scratch honors FOOD itself and practice it too. Born in beautiful coastal Goa, raised in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, explains my exposure to several Indian cuisine. My living experience in three continents (Asia, Europe and North America) and travelling over 20 countries influence my cooking style and choice of food. Mid 2011, I moved to the USA to join my husband. After quite a few moves (read 3 states) in a year’s time, we settled in San Francisco, California. Kitchen Kemistry started in the year 2011. It is a collection of recipes prepared in my tiny kitchen with local ingredients. Being a locavore, my recipes are straight-forward with an emphasis on whole and fresh seasonal ingredients that offer more flavors, texture and choice. All garnered after goofy blunders, cooking disasters, burnt fingers and chipped nails. As a Life Science graduate, I believe that cooking and baking is a perfect combination of science and art. With the rigor of science and grace of art, baking is a delightful labor and food is a pleasurable bounty. Concocting with this rationale, my recipes provide the science that happens backstage.

Hi, I am Dipti Saraf, based in Raniganj (West Bengal)(near Kolkata). I have done my B.Sc in Zoology. I am a homemaker, and a new mom with love and passion for baking! Since teenage, at times, I used to bake for my family and friends on occasions like birthdays and anniversaries and my cakes grabbed the most appreciation. I realized that through baking, I was able to express my creative side – it was almost an effortless activity for me. This is how I discovered my love for baking. After attending my first professional class on fondant, it appeared to be a turning point in my life as it brought before me, a whole new world full of opportunities in the field of professional baking. I told about my wish to my husband and got full support from him. It's now been 5 years of professional baking and I haven’t looked back since. I innovate in flavours, structure, theme,etc and offer my customers a wide range of designer cakes to suit their needs. Bringing an innovation in cake recipes is very much important these days.I try to cater and design my cakes accordingly. Besides, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest trends in the baking industry by following relevant blogs, posts and networking with fellow home bakers. I have been featured in district newspaper and news channel. I have been interviewed by conflating visions as well which is available to read through this link http://www.conflatingvisions.com/2016/11/cakebake-raniganj-durgapur-asansol-dipti-saraf/Read less

Chocolates, Confections & Macarons
  • Serves: 10-12
  • Prep time: 30 min plus resting time
  • Baking time ,Temp: 300°F /150°C for 18-20 min

1: FRENCH MACARON SHELLS

  • Egg Whites100gms
  • Castor Sugar25gms
  • Almond Meal 125gms
  • Icing Sugar225gms

2: BUBBLEGUM BUTTERCREAM FILLING

  • Unsalted Butter125gms
  • Icing-Sugar250gms
  • FAB Premium Oil Soluble Bubblegum Flavour1/2tsp
  • Pink Gel colourfew drops

1: FRENCH MACARON SHELLS

  • Bring the egg whites to room temperature, they beat easier.
  • Make sure your bowl for egg whites is super clean and free of any streaks of grease.
  • Glass or stainless steel bowls are best, because plastic bowl tend to absorb oil.
  • Even the tiniest trace of oil, or egg yolk will prevent the egg whites from whipping into fluffy meringue.
  • Use thick baking sheets to bake evenly and prevent browning from the bottom of the macarons.
  • If you overmix batter, the macarons will spread too much, won’t form feet and/or they will be hollow.
  • If you under-mix batter, your macarons will end up with uneven surface and without feet.
  • To prevent browning the macarons from the top, place an empty baking sheet on top rack.
  • This way the heat from the roof of the oven is blocked, preventing the macarons brown too much.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar twice.
  • Set aside.
  • In a clean medium bowl, beat the egg whites on medium low speed until foamy.
  • Then slowly add sugar one tablespoon at a time.
  • Continue to beat the egg whites on medium low speed until hard peaks form.
  • (TIP: Stir in gel or powder food coloring, if desired, when the meringue reaches soft peak stage.) Sift almond flour mixture into meringue, and gently fold it with a spatula until batter is just combined.
  • TIP: Making french macarons is all about the technique.
  • This is the most crucial step of all.
  • Run the spatula clockwise from the bottom, up around the sides and cut the batter in half.
  • Start to test the batter on a small plate after every couple folds.
  • To test, drop a small amount of batter on a plate.
  • If the small peaks dissolve into the batter on its own in about 10 seconds, the batter is ready.
  • If not, fold a couple more times and test again.
  • Be careful not to over-fold the batter.
  • Transfer the batter into a pastry bag with a round tip.
  • Pipe about 1 1/2-inch rounds about an inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • Tap the baking sheets firmly on the counter a few times to get rid of any air bubbles.
  • You can also use a toothpick to burst some large air bubbles.
  • Let the macarons sit out on the counter for at least 15-30 minutes, maybe up to a couple hours, depending on humidity.
  • When you lightly touch the macarons, and the batter does not stick to your finger, then it’s ready to go into the oven.
  • While waiting, preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Bake the macarons one sheet at a time for about 18-20 minutes.
  • It’ll take longer for larger macarons.
  • To test for doneness, touch a macaron lightly and try to move it.
  • If it slides and wobbles, bake a minute or so longer.
  • The cooked macarons should be firm to touch and the base shouldn’t move.
  • Cool the macarons on the sheet for 10-15 minutes, and then transfer the macarons to a wire rack to cool completely..

2: BUBBLEGUM BUTTERCREAM FILLING:

  • In a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer whip the butter until light and creamy on medium/high speed.
  • Add in the sugar one spoon at a time on medium speed.
  • Continue to whisk until mixture is pale and sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Add the FAB Premium Oil Soluble Bubblegum flavour and continue to mix until smooth on high speed.
  • To assemble, transfer the buttercream filling into a pastry bag and fill the macarons..

  • Even the tiniest trace of oil, or egg yolk will prevent the egg whites from whipping into fluffy meringue.
  • Use thick baking sheets to bake evenly and prevent browning from the bottom of the macarons.
  • If you overmix batter, the macarons will spread too much, won’t form feet and/or they will be hollow.
  • If you under-mix batter, your macarons will end up with uneven surface and without feet.
  • To prevent browning the macarons from the top, place an empty baking sheet on top rack.
  • This way the heat from the roof of the oven is blocked, preventing the macarons brown too much.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar twice.
  • Set aside.
  • In a clean medium bowl, beat the egg whites on medium low speed until foamy.
  • Then slowly add sugar one tablespoon at a time.
  • Continue to beat the egg whites on medium low speed until hard peaks form.
  • (TIP: Stir in gel or powder food coloring, if desired, when the meringue reaches soft peak stage.) Sift almond flour mixture into meringue, and gently fold it with a spatula until batter is just combined.
  • TIP: Making french macarons is all about the technique.
  • This is the most crucial step of all.
  • Run the spatula clockwise from the bottom, up around the sides and cut the batter in half.
  • Start to test the batter on a small plate after every couple folds.
  • To test, drop a small amount of batter on a plate.
  • If the small peaks dissolve into the batter on its own in about 10 seconds, the batter is ready.
  • If not, fold a couple more times and test again.
  • Be careful not to over-fold the batter.
  • Transfer the batter into a pastry bag with a round tip.
  • Pipe about 1 1/2-inch rounds about an inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • Tap the baking sheets firmly on the counter a few times to get rid of any air bubbles.
  • You can also use a toothpick to burst some large air bubbles.
  • Let the macarons sit out on the counter for at least 15-30 minutes, maybe up to a couple hours, depending on humidity.
  • When you lightly touch the macarons, and the batter does not stick to your finger, then it’s ready to go into the oven.
  • While waiting, preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Bake the macarons one sheet at a time for about 18-20 minutes.
  • It’ll take longer for larger macarons.
  • To test for doneness, touch a macaron lightly and try to move it.
  • If it slides and wobbles, bake a minute or so longer.
  • The cooked macarons should be firm to touch and the base shouldn’t move.
  • Cool the macarons on the sheet for 10-15 minutes, and then transfer the macarons to a wire rack to cool completely..

2: BUBBLEGUM BUTTERCREAM FILLING:

  • In a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer whip the butter until light and creamy on medium/high speed.
  • Add in the sugar one spoon at a time on medium speed.
  • Continue to whisk until mixture is pale and sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Add the FAB Premium Oil Soluble Bubblegum flavour and continue to mix until smooth on high speed.
  • To assemble, transfer the buttercream filling into a pastry bag and fill the macarons..

  • Whisk the egg whites and castor sugar until stiff peaks.

  • Mix just until the batter looks like a dry cake batter.
  • Do not over mix.
  • Pipe into the desired shape and size.

  • This recipe is a foolproof macaron recipe, no resting needed, from raw ingredients to baking to ready shells within 30 minutes.
  • Macarons are considered to be a dessert which is high on sweetness, I curated this recipe to cut the sweetness with the kick of Fab Premium Oil Soluble Aam Panna flavour paired with every Indian’s love, Chaat Masala and Black salt.
  • Giving the best sweet, sour and savoury texture in one bite.

I am a self-taught home baker and chocolatier, hailing from Kerala, settled in Hyderabad. I started off by writing a cooking/baking blog and got interested in making homemade chocolates and baking.

I run my business in the name "Nim's Choco Fantasy". Other than customised cakes, I do healthy bakes, Plum cakes, cookies, cupcakes, cake pops, brownies, homemade chocolates, Keto Desserts and many more. I do take classes for Basic baking, Fondant decorations, Chocolate making and Customised classes (as per the student's requirement). Mostly, my classes are one to one or maximum 3-4 students in a batch. My article was published in a Telugu Newspaper. I was felicitated by an IT company as a women entrepreneur who had the courage to pursue her dreams, on their women's day function. Won a Special award in the “Healthy Bakes” category conducted in The Great India Bake Show 2019. My business was nominated for India 5000 Best MSME awards.Read less

Being a self taught baker, some of my most cherished memories are that of learning new techniques from books handed down by my mother, in the pre internet era. I still remember baking my first sponge cake, when I was 14 - it was sheer joy, almost like love at first sight. I knew, on that very day, that I had found my passion. As i grew older, I developed a keen interest in art which led me to graduate in fine art and textile and fashion designing from Sophia, Mumbai. After working in the fashion industry for a few years, I went back to my passion for baking. I baked primarily for friends and family for several years to fine tune my craft. Then I started baking professionally and enjoy combining flavours and experimenting with new recipes. Do check out my facebook page - Dulce by Mala - to see some of my work. Happy Baking :)Read less

A write-up about myself has always been the toughest task for me. It’s like penning down all my emotions in a single word. But each story deserves to be shared, and so does mine. Though there’s a lot I would like to share, but I’ll keep it to bare minimum this time. A trained professional in TV Journalism and Film editing, I started working for a TV program for DD. 3 years into the job I realized that, though the job was interesting, it still didn’t seem sufficient. On a friend’s recommendation I joined an MNC at an entry level and then there was no looking back. I worked with them for almost 9 years, and rose from entry level to Manager – Quality and Operations, through hard work and determination. Crazy shifts, weird clients, handling various time zones, excessive pressure and what not. Absolute chaos yet streamlined life. I loved my job and loved the corporate life. Never did I think I had anything in me which could remotely connect me to anything artistic or food because I hated kitchen and still do. The corporate life kept going on till my daughter was born and I quit my job 8 months later to tend to her. Though I continued my freelancing, it was a time where I was always on the lookout for what different to feed her each day. So I started with the ever so popular Nan Khatai for her. My first clients and critics were my daughter and hubby. Creations were loved and gobbled up or whole batches were thrown out depending on the verdict. Practiced and practiced for years, learned, stumbled, made mistakes and rose up. Finally, in 2015 I took a personal loan and started off Jeanie’s Bakes, my dream venture. Never took professional classes; learnt from youtube, google baba and later HBG. It’s been an amazing journey till now. I have been introduced to amazing knowledge of food through this. I Love creating amalgamation of different flavors into something that is not just appealing to the palate but to the eyes as well. Now, I make designer cakes, custom recipes, healthy recipes, dessert tables, event catering, and much more. I have loved every bit of being part of this industry, have come a long way and have a long way to go. The recipes I have shared, are a small tribute to my mom’s native place, Kerala. I hope you like them and give it a try. Read less

‘Ada’ is a sweet jackfruit, rice and coconut dessert made in the South, by a steaming process. The dough is wrapped in a banana leaf, tied with a thread and steamed to cook. The flavor it brings out is amazing with the aroma of jackfruit lingering. This again brings about my childhood memories from when my Nani used to make all these lovely dishes when we used to visit Kerala. These are my fond memories, which inspired me to take down a trip yet again through re-inventing the new age recipes. For the people who have ever eaten this simple yet amazing dessert, this macaron will remind you of the wonderful taste of Ada. And for those who have never tasted it, go ahead and make it. This will tell you about the “Fruit of God” and what you have missed. :-P Please read the whole recipe before starting the process.

1: Macaron shells

  • Eggs whites225 gms
  • Granulated sugar225 gms
  • Almond Flour275 gms
  • Powdered sugar275 gms
  • Food coloringfew drops

2: Ganache FIlling

  • White coverture 300 gms
  • Cream 100 gms
  • Freeze dried jackfruit powder 1 tbsp
  • Fab Premium Oil Soluble Jackfruit Flavour few drops

3: Coconut Filling

  • Powdered coconut150 gms
  • Salted Caramel 100 gms

1:

  • Take your aged egg whites in a clean bowl for whipping.
  • Make sure the bowl and the whisk is absolutely free from any moisture or fat and the egg whites are at room temperature.
  • Add the almond flour and powdered sugar in a mixer and mix it for 20 seconds.
  • Sieve and keep it ready.
  • Any granules remaining, churn them again and add back.
  • Start whipping the egg whites at low.
  • Slowly the egg whites will start becoming frothy, as the froth becomes stronger and bigger, start adding granulated sugar, 2 tbsp at a time and keep mixing until all the sugar is gone.
  • This process will take about 5 minutes.
  • Add any color you want to add, at this time.
  • Whip it for 5 minutes more, until it reaches the stiff peak stage.
  • You will know it’s done as the meringue will start gathering as a ball inside the whisk.
  • Now start adding the almond flour and sugar mixture into meringue in parts.
  • Pour in half of the mixture and start folding in.
  • Do not mix randomly.
  • Gently fold moving the spatula from under the batter to the top, so as not to deflate the meringue.
  • Once mixed, add the rest and continue the same method of folding; under the batter to the top, cut the batter with a spatula from the center and move to the side, making sure to scrape the sides.
  • Keep checking the consistency.
  • Stop folding once you have a ribbon like consistency, when you raise the spatula the batter falls down to form a ribbon.
  • Take a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle and fill it with the batter.
  • Take your prepared tray ( lined with parchment paper) and start piping the circles.
  • Pipe the circle and lift the bag in a circular motion and not straight up.
  • Make sure that the nozzle is straight, perpendicular to the tray.
  • Let the piped batter rest for about a half hour, or until the top is not sticky to the touch.
  • In the meantime, preheat the oven at 170 °C .Put the tray in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes.
  • After 8 minutes turn the tray around and let it bake for another 7 minutes.
  • Once done, take it out and let it cool down.
  • Once cool, store it in an airtight container..

2: Preparing Ganache

  • Preparing Ganache- I’ve used Callebaut white here and prepared the ganache with 3:1 consistency (3 parts chocolate and 1-part cream).
  • Once the ganache is done, add a few drops of Fab Premium Oil Soluble Jackfruit Flavour and mix.
  • Once slightly cool, add powdered jackfruit and fold in.
  • I have used Frubites here, they are yummy and addictive as it is.
  • I couldn’t save anything for the picture… lol.
  • The ganache needs to rest at least a day in the fridge to get a piping consistency.
  • So you can either make this a few days ahead or freeze the macs and fill when the ganache is ready..

3: Coconut filling

  • Mix 150 gms of coconut powder with 100 gms of salted caramel to get thick consistency.
  • Add caramel if very thick or vice versa..

4: Assembly

  • Filling the shells – Take a Sultan nozzle or any other nozzle to fill the shell making sure you leave space in the center and fill it with the coconut and caramel filling.
  • I pipe it, as I keep the consistency like very thick caramel.
  • Let the filled macs rest in the fridge for at least a day for the flavor to fully develop.
  • Make sure to let it come to room temperature before savoring.
  • Voila!! Your mac is done.
  • This is a piece of heaven in your mouth.
  • Trust me when I say this.
  • This is something that vanishes from my fridge in a blink and I’m not complaining.
  • I would love to make this any day.

I entered the world of baking in the year 2009 as a home baker just to cater to my family’s love for sugar. Little did I know then that I would develop a love for it, that it would become a vocation for me and that I would use all the passion I had into influencing lives and encouraging people to develop their skills. I eventually found that in today's highly-commercialized F&B environment, it is difficult to find affordably-priced customised cakes that do not compromise on quality. Hence, I decided to do just that - bake high-quality cakes and teach others how to bake delicious wholesome cakes and thus set up Melting Moments by Sunita. At Melting Moments by Sunita we focus on the essence of baking as an experience by shaping talent, providing the required knowledge in the production of bakery items both commercially and with the most basic equipment at home. With short term or even one day courses focusing on providing step by step instruction with a hands-on training on one particular subject we ensure that students develop a competency in that subject. Melting moments covers a wide array of components in the bakery and pastry world such as cake baking- finishing and decorating, cookies, doughnuts, muffins, cupcakes puff pastries and pies, chocolate and sugar work, Seasonal, festive and ethnic baking, healthy baking etc.Read less

Chocolates, Confections & Macarons
  • Serves: 14-16
  • Prep time: 45 min plus drying time for macaron shells
  • Baking time ,Temp: 100°C for 10-15 min

1: For Macarons

  • aquafaba75gms
  • caster sugar60gms
  • icing sugar 90gms
  • activated charcoal powder10gms
  • almond flour 100 g

2: For Bergamot ganache

  • white chocolate 100gms
  • Amul cream50gms
  • Fab Premium Oil Soluble Bergamot Flavour 4-5drops

1:

  • Baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Sift together almond flour, charcoal powder and icing sugar twice.
  • Leave aside.
  • In a clean medium bowl, beat the aquafaba on low speed until foamy.
  • Gradually increase the speed to medium.
  • Slowly add caster sugar one teaspoon at a time.
  • Continue to beat the aquafaba on high speed until hard peaks form.
  • Sift almond flour mixture over whipped aquafaba, and gently fold it with a spatula until batter is just combined.
  • TIPS: Making french macarons is all about the technique.
  • This is the most crucial step of all.
  • Let me try to describe the folding motion as best as I can.
  • Run the spatula clockwise from the bottom, up around the sides and cut the batter in half.
  • I suggest to count every fold, I do about 50 folds, and then I start testing the batter on a small plate after every couple folds.
  • To test, drop a small amount of batter on a plate.
  • If the small peaks dissolve into the batter on its own in about 10 seconds, the batter is ready.
  • If not, fold a couple more times and test again.
  • Be careful not to over-fold.
  • Transfer the batter into a pastry bag with a round tip.
  • Pipe about 1.5-inch rounds about an inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • Tap the baking sheets firmly on the counter a few times to get rid of any air bubbles.
  • Let the macarons sit out on the counter for at least 30-45minutes, maybe up to a couple hours, depending on humidity.
  • When you lightly touch the macarons, and the batter does not stick to your finger, then it’s ready to go into the oven.
  • While waiting, preheat the oven to 100°C Bake the macarons one sheet at a time for about 25-30 minutes.
  • It’ll take longer for larger macarons.
  • The macarons are ready when they come off the sheet easily.
  • Cool the macarons on the sheet for 10-15 minutes, and then transfer the macarons to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Reverse cookie shells on their backs, and pipe a small mound of filling on one of them.
  • Top with the other shell..

1: For Bergamot ganache

  • Melt chocolate and cream separately in 2 bowls.
  • Get them at room temp and mix.
  • Add Bergamot essence/Flavour and store..

2: For assembly

  • Reverse cookie shells on their backs, and pipe a small mound of filling on one of them.
  • Top with the other shell..

3:

  • Aquafaba 'Aqua' means water and 'faba' means legume.
  • Aquafaba is simply residual water from cooking legumes such as chickpeas.
  • When concentrated, the water is thick and viscous like egg white.
  • And it whips up very similarly to egg white! .

The sheer joy of creating something out of nothing and the freedom to experiment with colors, structures and textures gives me a high I cannot describe. I have always loved cooking, so not very long ago, I decided to try my hand at baking cakes. After a few bad batches that resembled either bricks or sludge, I started to see the delicious goodness I had started out to make. As the cakes improved, so did the feedback and it was an upward spiral from there. Things got “heated” as I expanded to breads, cookies and many more Baked Products. The drive to put a smile on the faces of more and more people through cakes and desserts drove me to improve and try new things including starting my own cake business which I proudly call “Choco Cake Gallore”. One that I prefer to keep small yet personal. CCG (Choco Cake Gallore) started in September 2014 in Pune. Self Learning and exploring each and every aspect, right from baking, finishing, tools, equipment, etc. I used to be so fascinated everytime I came across new tools or equipments for baking. The first cake I baked was for my brother’s birthday. That cake received so much love from family and friends that it motivated me to bake more. Being an artistic person cakes introduced me to another form of art and I started loving baking even more and more with each passing day. It introduced me to so many textures, colours, shades, flavours, the list is endless. Putting a smile on someone’s face was like a reward for all the efforts put into baking. It introduced me to a group of Bakers called “Home Bakers Guild” on Facebook. I feel proud to say I was the 1st Runner Up of “Hall of Fame 2015” in the Category of Cake Decoration. Bakers can imagine my joy, I was on cloud nine. Especially, since I was still a newbie. I have a Masters Degree in Computer Science and worked in IT before I decided to quit it to follow my passion. Baking made me happy. It taught me patience, stability and gave me the confidence to keep pushing my limits. I started exploring this new world and expanding my horizons from cakes to chocolates, cookies, etc. I got married and moved to Bangalore in 2016 and so did CCG. I had to start from scratch with new challenges, a new city and a new home. I then decided to take my baking journey a step forward by joining Lavonne Academy of Baking Science in June 2017 where I realized just how vast the baking world is and no amount of knowledge is enough. But most importantly, it introduced me to the Science of Baking. It was an amazing experience. And in 2018 CCG was back in Action at its new Home - “Bangalore” where it continues to grow Slowly and Steadily.Read less

Chocolates, Confections & Macarons
  • Serves: 12-15
  • Prep time: 30 min plus drying time for macaron shells
  • Baking time ,Temp: 120°C for 20-25 mins

1:

  • Almond powder 65g
  • Icing sugar 125g
  • Egg whites 75g
  • Caster sugar 100g
  • Colour as required gel based preferred
  • Desiccated coconutto sprinkle on top

2: For the toasted coconut ganache

  • White chocolate150g
  • Cream 37g
  • Coconut milk powder10g
  • Desiccated coconut10g (can omit if you prefer a smooth ganache)
  • Fab Premium Oil Soluble Toasted Coconut Flavour½ tsp

1:

  • Make stencil to pipe macaron using a 1.5” round approx on a paper and keep it on an inverted tray.Place a silicon baking mat on top.
  • Using a mixer, combine the almond meal and icing sugar till very fine.
  • Sieve the mix.
  • To make french meringue: Beat egg whites at full speed and once they are frothy, add sugar in 3-4 parts while whisking constantly.
  • If using any colour, add it along with the last batch of sugar.
  • Beat till you do not feel any sugar granules at the bottom of the bowl while whisking and the meringue reaches medium peaks i.e bends at a 90 degree angle when you lift the whisk.
  • Mix 1/3rd of the flour mix to the meringue and fold gently.
  • Once combined, add the remaining meringue in 2 parts, folding the meringue in sweep down-across-up-and-over motion (like you’re scraping around the bowl towards the middle) while turning the bowl at the same time.
  • Stop folding once your batter has reached a “lava” like or honey consistency i.e it should fall off the spatula in a steady stream without being too runny or too stiff.
  • Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle and pipe circles using the stencil below the silicon mat.
  • Once the entire tray is piped, sprinkle the top with desiccated coconut and tap the tray on the counter to remove any air bubbles and to flatten the tops.
  • If you see any big bubbles, use a pointed knife or a skewer to burst them.
  • Dry the piped macarons till they form a skin and the batter does not stick to your fingers when you touch it gently.
  • (Time could vary between 30 mins to 2 hours!) Bake at 120°C in the middle rack for 20-25 mins.
  • To check for doneness, gently move the crown of the macaron.
  • It is done when the crown and the base have fused and the crown does not move separately.
  • Once baked, leave to cool.
  • Peel the cooled macaron carefully off the baking/parchment sheet and pair them according to size.

2: Toasted coconut ganache

  • Melt chocolate partially.Heat cream and pour over the finely chopped chocolate.
  • Mix well, making sure there are no lumps of chocolate. Add in desiccated coconut, coconut milk powder and essence/flavour and mix to combine.
  • Cool completely and leave it to recrystallise at room temperature..

3: To Assemble:

  • Pair the macarons according to their size and pipe the ganache. Let the macarons ‘mature’ overnight after piping filling to develop flavour.
  • ? Note: For presentation purpose, I have used half batch of brown macaron batter and the rest plain macaron batter.

Hello This is me, Twisted Baker Rutuja I have always been very fond of cooking. Having completed my MSC in Physics went to work in a MNC like most people but the call of the kitchen was always there. After a terrible tragedy my fate finally conspired to allow me to live my dream and I started baking full time as a professional, teaching classes, taking orders and developing new recipes. The science background really helps in that. I thrive on challenges and love it when I can produce a perfect recipe in answer to a challenge And hence the ventures name is "The twisted Baker" as i completely twisted my career, I am a stickler for perfection and feel that if the product doesn't meet my standards then i can't give it to my clients even if i know that i can camouflage the problem then client would love it anyways... but ‘dil nahi maanta’.. and irrespective of time and/or cost i landup redoing the whole thing till i get it absolutely right! I like making recipes that are simple with easy to find ingredients as I feel that if I complicate the recipes then i only want to make them forget about the others even trying them out. A recipe should be simple with few ingredients and steps, easy to understand and replicate by anyone... even the housewives... especially them as they are always running around making things good and trying to keep everyone happy and what better way to make anyone happy than through Good FOOD... For me food is god and cooking is worship and I do it with all my heart and complete honesty!

Hello This is me, Twisted Baker Rutuja I have always been very fond of cooking. Having completed my MSC in Physics went to work in a MNC like most people but the call of the kitchen was always there. After a terrible tragedy my fate finally conspired to allow me to live my dream and I started baking full time as a professional, teaching classes, taking orders and developing new recipes. The science background really helps in that. I thrive on challenges and love it when I can produce a perfect recipe in answer to a challenge And hence the ventures name is "The twisted Baker" as i completely twisted my career, I am a stickler for perfection and feel that if the product doesn't meet my standards then i can't give it to my clients even if i know that i can camouflage the problem then client would love it anyways... but ‘dil nahi maanta’.. and irrespective of time and/or cost i landup redoing the whole thing till i get it absolutely right! I like making recipes that are simple with easy to find ingredients as I feel that if I complicate the recipes then i only want to make them forget about the others even trying them out. A recipe should be simple with few ingredients and steps, easy to understand and replicate by anyone... even the housewives... especially them as they are always running around making things good and trying to keep everyone happy and what better way to make anyone happy than through Good FOOD... For me food is god and cooking is worship and I do it with all my heart and complete honesty! I have done workshops across the country and it feels sooo good when your students look up to you and do such amazing work from what you have taught them..Read less
