From celebrations to the blues, nothing lifts you up better than a delicious dessert. In Shivesh Bhatia’s Desserts for Every Mood, the maverick baker is back with an array of recipes that promise to transform any day.
Whether it is a warm loaf of chocolate croissant fresh from the oven or a light cheesecake chilling in the fridge, nothing rewards more than baking a sweet treat. Not only does baking calm those frayed nerves, it also heals you in a way like no other.
1. Think of the last time you were surrounded by the fragrance of melted chocolate and warm vanilla? Yes, that feeling! It’s like having your own personal aromatherapy session in the kitchen.
2. Research shows that picking up a project where your mind has to focus helps. When in a funk, pick up a babka or a tart recipe and focus all your energies in kneading that perfect tart shell or creating the perfect buttercream. And in no time your mind will walk away from the problems at hand and move on to a more pleasurable state of being.
3. We now live in a world where we either live alone or are forced to have minimum human interaction. Instead of wallowing in self-pity or letting it get to you, bring a little joy by baking a batch of cupcakes for a friend. Or better still, light up the dinner table by baking a delicious post-dinner treat. The smiles and slurps all around will be rewarding treat for you.
4. Sure baking is technical‑ it takes a combination of precise measurements and steps to arrive at a spectacular conclusion. But the end results are worth it. The sense of accomplishment combined with the immersive experience it provides – sight, smell, touch – is unmatched.
5. Everyone has a fond memory from their past connected to a dessert–so pick up that bag of flour and bake that favourite dessert at home to replicate that warm and fuzzy feeling that will take you back to that moment in time which will bring a smile to you face.
