Hetal Vasavada has wowed her followers all over the world with vibrant, colorful sweets that meld traditional Indian flavors with Western baking techniques. Desi Bakes offers a new world of over-the-top glamour and bling to home bakers and industry pros alike who wish to build on their knowledge of Indian flavors and traditions.
Hetal’s newest book brings decorating inspiration, and recipe adjustments for gluten-free, egg-free, and vegan treats to an audience looking to create eye-catching mithai, sweets, shared on special occasions, and explore traditional Indian holidays through a new lens. Think Saffron Madeleines, Masala Chai Semifreddo, and Kesar Pista Cream Puffs. Learn what to bring to a friend’s Diwali celebration, how to use leftover besan ki burfi in Muddy Buddies or Crispy Rice Treats, and how to mirror beautiful Indian textiles with icing on cookies.
From cookies, to cakes, to puddings, frozen desserts, and even drinks, Desi Bakes brings vivid color and spice to all the sweet moments in life.
I think it's safe to say that Hetal has been the brightest light in the South Asian baking community for years now. Her cult classic gulab jamun bundt cake may have been the beginning, but this new book of colorful and spice-forward bakes is a whole new era! I can think of few bakers who can bring such playfulness, technical rigor, and creativity to everything they create. Crorepati jaggery caramel bars forever!
