Baking Ingredient and accessory store in Calicut

Image
Bakers and Butlers Store in Calicut Meaningful Line on the Daily Notice Board -  Store Aisle - Fondant Tools, molds, etc Aluminium Tins for Baking ( All sizes) One section for Cupcake Liners and paper molds  Looking at the size of this baking store in Calicut and the number of customers visiting this store, it's easy to imagine the number of bakers in this city. I feel, this is bigger than Stains in Trivandrum and much larger than any baking store in Bangalore. I was fortunate to stop by at this city after attending a student's wedding in Cananaore. Apart from visiting few places like the street famous for banana chips, Paragon restaurant, beach, St Joseph Cathedral, I look a rick to reach this baking store. Here's the address of this store:  P Sahadevan Sons Bakers & Butlers Shop Address: Thondayad Bye-Pass, Opp. Azhathrikovil Temple P.O., Nellikkode, Kozhikode, Kerala 673016 Here are few things I bought from this store: 8 inch aluminum tin Cupcake liners Fondant tool

Custom Paper Bag Shop at Trivandrum

Wide Range  of  Paper Bags Vedika Traders- Cloth, Paper Bag Store at Tvm Brown Covers and Cloth Bag Here's one accidental discovery - rather I should say that I spotted a new store selling paper and cloth bag in Trivandrum. So, here's how I noticed this store. On my way back from a shopping trip from Stains at Attakulangara, Trivandrum, I noticed paper bags and covers kept outside this store. As, I keep buying these bags for my baking class, I stopped to have a closer look. The shop owner was a pleasant young man who explained in detail all about his merchandise. This is rather unusual in this pas most shop owner or sales staff I see in Trivandrum usually appear ever busy or just flatly refuse to delve more info. He said he can do custom printing work on the cloth or paper bag and I collected the cost and other details. I wish him all success, goodwill on his new venture. Pls visit this store to get more details of bags and custom printing works.

Day in the Life of a Baking Intern

What is it to become an intern or as a trainee and work side-by-side with a baking trainer? Well, the answer should come from the intern themselves. However, from my view here are my thoughts on baking internship. It's a Learning opportunity ( Try new recipes) Experience of all sorts ( Meet People, visit new place) Get to know the inside-story ( How to prepare and market for a class) Experience of Working as a Baking Intern As a person who conducts baking workshops in Bangalore, Trivandrum and Hyderabad, I come across many people with different goal in mind. Most students who attend are home bakers or those looking for a basic know-how on baking and there are students who are keen to become trainers. So, it's a mixed bag of people coming together for learning. In my classes, I have a lot of things to manage, assemble and prepare for the class. It's this task that often zap my time and energy. Also, in the class, it would be great relief, if some part of the lecture or demo

Beyond the Recipe and Story of the Food

Why we choose a Recipe Book  ✤Is recipe book just about the recipe? What's more in it? ✤What tempts you to pick a recipe book? ✤Does your cook book collection say something about you? (Probably nothing) These questions ran in my mind after I spend some time gazing at my recipe book collection. I often end up buying new recipe book for different reasons - At times, it's the story around the recipe, or after seeing a familiar name or the sumptuous food photographs. ★These two recipe books are special - The Suriani Kitchen by Lathika George takes you through the spectrum of life, stories around food and has a collection of wonderful recipes. ★ The Tried Out Recipes (Ninth Edition) published by Inner Wheel Club club of Trivandrum comes with a big list of tried and tested recipes. They were the pioneers in Trivandrum, when it comes to culinary skill training. Many people would remember their office in University Road at Trivandrum. Kudos to all the ladies who worked as a team - ve
