Passionate About Baking: Picture Perfect

When one sees a book of chocolate recipes where there are as many or more pictures than recipes, then one tends to drool over the pictures and forget the recipes. In Deeba Rajpal’s book , the recipes call out to me made. The ingredients simple and the methods easy-step by step. With easily available substitutes too.The book starts off with a list of ingredients and equipments usually required to make the recipes. How best to use the book is also a useful chapter for beginners as well as the experts. Then the recipes divided into various sections followed by a small bonus of basic recipes that will aide in the making of the delectable chocolate creations. Most of the recipes are eggless and vegan substitutes used for gelatine. This is a big help for those with dietary restrictions.A lot of hard work has gone into the making of this book. The photos are of outstanding quality, so are the equipments and props used.This book is very professional, but also very useful for a hobby chocolatier like me. It is also a good book to drool over, when I have run out of things to read.Whether you are a professional or amateur or just love to collect food books. This is a must buy.In the picture I have made Dark Chocolate and Coffee Cream (eggless) from page 92 under Puddings, Trifles and Pannacotta.

I bought this book just by seeing the cover page. Out of my many other bake books this one is on top for eggless bake books. The baker/ author's passion travels to my kitchen. Her recipes are simple easy and most importantly readily available inexpensive ingredients are used .I've referred to the recipes to deliver my eggless orders.Best wishes to the author .

I'm a self taught baker, and bake at home for leisure. Deeba's book is an amazing addition to the learning resources. Aesthetically pleasing, soothing to the eyes, and a great resource for all your baking needs especially pertaining to chocolate.I love her banana bread recipe and it's one of my bestsellers.Highly recommend the book to everyone - even non bakers :D as just to look at the book and scroll is soothing and lovely!

I've been following her Instagram handle for quite some time now and have attended few of her workshops as well and one thing that I've always loved about her baking style is the way she uses local ingredients in most of her culinary arts. And this book feels like an extension to her virtual world. Each and every recipe is so detailed and the 'What if' section is the real savior for guys like me. Also, the print quality is unbelievably awesome. This book is definitely a keeper. Cheers.

I just loved the yummy recipes which are easy to follow... The pictures are perfect too...

As a fan of Deeba’s work for a while, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on her first book, and it lives upto every expectation. Her photos are art and I find myself browsing through often just to marvel at them. The recipes are simple enough even for beginners to re-create effortlessly. You must get the book if you are a dessert/baking/chocolate lover as much as if you are a food stylist/photographer!

I've been following Deebas work on Instagram for a few years now and I'm blown away each time a new recipe video/pic pops up on my feed. The pictures are taken with so much of thought and consideration. So when she came out with her first book, I had to get my hands on it. I'm leaving this review after a few months of purchasing the book and it doesn't disappoint. Her recipes are easy to follow especially for a newbee or an experienced baker too. I love how each recipe has a picture with it. That makes it easy to understand what the end result should turn out like. And this book has both egg and eggless options, along with gluten free baking too.A must buy book to add to ones baking collection.
