As a professional pastry chef and an overall lover of dessert, I was immediately drawn to Vedika and her style of baking from the moment I met her. I have known Vedika for many years and have watched from afar as she evolved as a baker and really honed her craft and style in the kitchen. Her passion is evident in her desserts. From the oven to the plate, Vedika has not only that special touch, but also an eye for beautiful food, as you can see in her ph otography.

Creating a repertoire of recipes that people can have that is seasonal means the baker can focus on what to bake for the time of year using ingredients in season and flavors of the moment, be it springtime with The Best Carrot Cake or the holidays when a Festive Pavlova is exactly what you need for your family gathering. I also loved how Vedika shared a little of her Indian culture and traditional recipes throughout the book.

Whether you are a novice baker or even more advanced, I see this book being for everyone and anyone who loves baking as much as Ve dika does.
