Secrets of Top Indian Patisseries — The ‘bake’-through conversation
There are always some Santas that wear a toque and bring us cheer in the form of sweet fluff- yes, these are the bakers or the pâtissiers who bring sweetness to every sour and sweet moment of our lives.
We spoke to some of the finest bakers in the country to know what their year has been like and how they have decided to colour the world gelatine sweet with their pastry brushes this Festive Season and bring in 2021 with hope and love!
What a year this has been! And it seems it well will spill over to 2021 with its evil eye. Like it or not, every article, every conversation, every business presentation — starts with the alphanumeric we have all been reeling under throughout this year — Covid-19. And just as hope was beginning to get around the corner, there’s now news that it has become smarter — beating us to the finish.
So, while we remain on the edge on this one, some Santas decided to don a toque and bring us cheer in the form of sweet fluff- yes, our favourite pâtissiers looked 2020 in the eye and brought sweetness to every moment of our lives- pandemic notwithstanding.
As the year draws to a close, and Christmas cheer and festivity begins to roll, bakeries fill the air with the warmth of their ovens and the lush aroma of their fresh bakes, filling our hearts with joy of the year gone by and hope for the year coming through. But this year was different.
As businesses suffered setbacks at the onset of the pandemic with lockdowns marring daily operations and staff rushing back home to safety, the 7 Billion USD Business of Happiness — “Baking” — was not spared either.
The government figuring which way to sit on regulations every day, the prolonged lockdowns that kept outlets shuttered, kitchen staff worried to report back to work, supply chains stuck at city and state borders with no hope of the perishables reaching in time, and of course the sugar-loving consumer now scared to even dream of a food item not made in his own kitchen forget stepping out to eat — 2020 made even the ever-positive baker wonder if this was ever going to end.
And now, when there seems to be a flicker of hope on the horizon and as patrons begin to step out of their fear to taste joy again — We spoke to some of the finest bakers in the country to know what their year has been like and how they have decided to colour the world gelatine sweet in the New Year.
