Ten-Second Takeaway
London-based chef, Shaheen Peerbhai aka Purple Foodie is making a pit stop in India for her bi-annual baking classes. This time Mumbai is on her radar too, along with Delhi and Bangalore.
A Class Apart
If you're the kind of foodie who spends many an hour browsing through food blogs, you might already be a fan of Purple Foodie. A blog started by Le Cordon Bleu and Alain Ducasse Education-trained {her list of credentials are endless} London-based pastry chef, Shaheen Peerbhai {also one of the earliest food bloggers in the country}, this is where you'll get to drool over her recipes for baked delights as well as dishes she has tried during her travels.
The ace baker also hosts much sought-after classes in Mumbai {her hometown}, occasionally. This time around, she will also be making way to Delhi and Bangalore with a bunch of classes. And no, this is not your run-of-the-mill regular cupcakes or muffin-making sessions. Shaheen will be bringing some of her serious French pastry training cred to the table and will help you ace extravagant cakes, bakes and breads.
