Hello Everyone!
I am happy to say that I’m back home in Bombay for a short trip and I’m going to be conducting a few baking classes! Yet again, my suitcase was weighed down with all the cooling racks, cake pans, rolling pins, sea salt and whatnot because I was wanted to share with you some recipes and tricks inspired from my time at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and London and working at a few restaurants in Europe over the past couple of years.
On Friday the 28th of February, 2014, I’m going to set myself up at the Eighth* studio in a quaint bylane just off Carter Road in Bandra and I hope you can join me. If you are interested in attending, then please sign up by emailing me on shaheen@purplefoodie.com and I’ll help you with the registration.
Last year’s classes were so much fun and I can’t wait to do it all over again. Here’s a look at the photos from an earlier Purple Foodie Baking Class as well as a little TV clipping of when NDTV came in to shoot us.
This is the only set of classes that I plan to conduct in 2014. If last year’s response from 200 baking enthusiasts attending is anything to go by, I expect the seats to fill quickly so let me know soon and I’ll get back in touch on a first-come, first-serve basis.
*About Eighth: Eighth is a baking studio by Le Cordon Bleu graduate, Anurita Ghosal. Everything here is baked fresh to order. Here’s a look at their menu. Place your order the day before, and pick it up between 4PM and 8:30PM. You can pop-by pick your order, have a coffee with them and enjoy some music while they continue baking. They’re also set to offer more baking classes.
