Baking Partners: A new Baking Group

Baking Partners: A new Baking Group
A group of home bakers helping each other to achieve perfection.

Baking a home made , cake or cookies will give the best outcome. However in order to achieve the best results, a perfect recipe and right techniques are required.

We are a small group of home baker friends, who love and want to learn more about the nook and corners of baking.  We are planning to try out recipes from books/magazines and cooking shows.  Every member gets a chance to present their choice of recipe and share important points with the rest of the group.

Main purpose of this group is to learn the techniques, critic the procedure if there are ways to improve, and to eat a delicious food.

Rules are simple, we will choose one recipe and send it out to the group by 16th of every month and the reveal date will be 15th of the next month. On that day we will blog about it. A linky tool will be open during that time and each member can link their post.

First month we are going to do a recipe, 2nd and 3rd month will be a theme and the 4th month we will be back at a recipe. By doing in between recipes, we will able to learn more.

All enthusiastic bloggers interested in baking are welcome, please email Swathi  at favoriterecipes12@gmail.com.

We will appreciate the use of logo or worded link that will help to spread the word.  A bunch of thanks to Tina for designing this beautiful logo

If you   want to make it a gluten or vegan free diet, you can do those modifications also.

Guest Event: VFAM - "PAPAYA"



This is again a very very exciting event for me to guest host, because the fruit I have choosen is one of my childhood favorite fruit. I am very happy to share some of my experiences all about this fruit and my childhood. We had papaya tress in our house and I remember eating them a lot and still didn't loose the interest to eat more and more. Now I just have those wonderful memories, but still never loose a chance if I can eat one. Not so many times I get to eat here, but still whenever I get a chance I eat a big one and make myself so satisfied. But the one thing I still want to say about the difference in taste is that, it can never taste as better as a home grown and the one I ate all through my childhood. hmmm.....so yummm!! :):)

Well I need to wake up from my dreams now and talk about more on the guest event that I am hosting and the benefits of eating this fruit......

Well I am guest hosting this event for Priya of "Mharo Rajasthan's Recipes" and the name of the Event is VFAM - Veggie/Fruit A Month" and I choose "PAPAYA" as the fruit of this month.

Now lets talk about this wonderful fruit and the benefits of eating it....

* Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, dietary minerals and dietary fibre. Papaya skin, pulp and seeds also contain a variety of phytochemicals, including natural phenols.
* The fruit can be eaten raw.
* The raw fruit is considered to be a vegetable and used in most of the Asian cooking.
* The papaya seeds can be dried and coarsely ground and used in the place of black pepper.
* In some part of the world the leaves of the papaya tree are streamed and eaten like spinach.

Well now to the main part of this post: The EVENT RULES:
