TimeOut, Catering, Quizzing and my new camera

These cheesecake brownies are the hottest selling item so far!

It’s been over a week since I last posted and I just wanted to pop in to tell you that I’m still here! It’s too bad that my camera conked off, so I can’t show you what I’ve been baking, but here’s a quick update.

When I’m not bumming around looking for purple carrots or eating pink guava, my time’s consumed with the catering. It’s really hectic, but really fun. Sort of what you always expect with catering and cooking. The highlight so far has been a really big breakfast order for a board meeting for a top city industrialist. I baked through the night because I wanted them to get the food as fresh as possible. Quite a task with my small oven, but great fun. Everything was out of the door at 9am! In case you’re wondering, my best selling bakes are the chocolate cinnamon babka and the cheesecake swirled brownies.

Another bit of good news – I just got featured in the latest edition of TimeOut Mumbai. They certainly had some kind words to say – “After spending many days ogling helplessly at blogger Shaheen Peerbhai’s baked goodies on our computers screens, we can finally order what we see.” Hop over to the catering page for the menu and to order.

Just as I was about to publish this, I found that the olive oil crackers and hummus I posted a while ago have been featured on Slashfood!

Next week’s going to be pretty awesome, too. Why? Because I’m finally FINALLY going to get my dSLR camera! It’s a Canon Rebel T1i / Canon 500D. I’ve wanted this for a while now, and my shipment should arrive any day now. I can’t wait to work on my food photography. I just hope I can get used to it soon and give you some mouth-watering photographs. I’d love to share them with you.

Something else that’s coming up this week is this great dinner party, hosted by Rushina Munshaw Ghildiyal, for Mumbai’s Food Bloggers! I’m going to be meeting many of my fellow local food bloggers for the first time, and I’m really looking forward to it.

Oh, and if you haven’t yet taken the Purple Foodie Quiz, do! Anthony Bourdain’s leading Ruth Reichl by a landslide!

Thanks for reading, thanks for ordering, and thanks for always supporting. =)
