I’m a huge snacker – I think I get it from my mama. We have this incredible ability to eat containers of Indian snacks and forgo real meals. Incredible I tell ya. But as I get older, ehem 30 ehem, I can’t really afford to be eating bags and containers full of fried Indian goodness. …

I loved candied fruit peels. I think they add great flavor to all kinds of desserts and are even great as a little sweet snack. So far I’ve made candied Lime and Orange Peels: https://www.chefpriyanka.com/double-chocolate-brownies-with-fresh-candied-orange-peel/and have used them on desserts.

I like to combine unusual flavors together in the hopes that I can create something amazingly delicious. So one day when I open my restaurant/bakery/food truck, I can sell these delicious creations. A few weeks ago was my friends blue-themed birthday party, so I decided to make cupcakes – surprise, surprise. I didn’t want to …
