Desi wedding season

I have to apologise for my terrible ability not to write more regularly. 

For us Desi folk it is wedding season, and that cuts into all the serious business of baking and cooking awesome stuff.

Spending a whole day or weekend at one wedding or another does not put you in the mood for baking.

Indeed I pushed myself to make grissini today and completely ruined the whole batch!

I am so ashamed I will not be posting any photos of my failure. Although I will get back to it and make a fresh batch soon. 

While at these weddings I've wondered why we do not see more baked goodies at weddings. 

Indians generally aren't that big on baking, besides the usual range of beautiful flat breads we really don't go in for all that.

Yesterdays wedding was slightly different though. We were served a selection of petit fours with tea at the close of play. 

It could certainly be one trend to take on next year. What baked goods would you have at a wedding? 

Mini focaccia finger sandwiches or how about bruschetta on freshly baked ciabatta? 

I had a house guest and so it was the perfect excuse to go all out for a leisurely Sunday breakfast. 

Belgian waffles with chocolate and strawberries followed by mini rostis. Who could say no to that? 

On the news front I'll be baking some bread for my cousin's cake stand at foodie event. 

I'm coming up with a selection of breads to take along. Any suggestions are welcome. 

I'll probably go with about five or six different breads. 

I've wanted to do something like this for a while now so this is a great opportunity to get stuck in.
