In the Times of Indiaaaaa!

By Shaheen
So guess who’s in The Times of India today?

In the Wine and Dine Section in the Crest Edition, is an article that provides a “grazing platter of delicious food blogs” and The Purple Foodie is one of them! I am tickled pink to be mentioned alongside some really amazing food blogs (wohoooo!)

For those of you outside India, the Times of India is India’s #1 newspaper in terms of circulation, with 3.14 Million copies circulated daily!

Here is what it says about The Purple Foodie:

The Purple Foodie belongs to a purple colour-loving Shaheen Peerbhai who works with a bakery. There are no simpering excuses of ‘secret recipes’ here. Knowledge and discoveries are generously shared, like a post in which she substitutes yeast for baking powder and comes up with “an amazing, light, lavash-like cracker in a lot less time than lavash”. All her posts are garnished with striking visuals. Sample her post on apple muffins: out of focus chrysanthemums add a blurb of magenta next to bright green apples lined up near scrumptious apple cinnamon streusel muffins; all are offset by a blue tablecloth and a book in shades of yellow, parrot green and pink.
