Sweeten Any Occasion with Bold, Unforgettable Desserts

From Brown Butter Ghee Shortbread Cookies to Pomegranate Curd Brownies, these decadently spiced, versatile recipes are a joy to make and share. Drawing inspiration from her Indian-American upbringing and experience on MasterChef, Hetal Vasavada infuses every creation with the flavors of her heritage. The results are remarkable treats like Mango Lassi French Macarons and Ginger–Chai Chocolate Pot de Crème.

Whip up a batch of small sweets (mithai) like Sesame Seed Brittle and Bourbon Biscuits, or impress guests with a fantastic breakfast like Banana Custard Brioche Donuts. The Gulab Jamun Cake, inspired by the quintessential Indian dough-balls soaked in spiced syrup, is the perfect showstopper for any gathering. Simple techniques and smart shortcuts make it easy to create familiar flavors or experiment with new ones. With delectable ingredients like ginger, cardamom, saffron, fennel and rose, every bite is worth celebrating.

Editorial Reviews

Review

”Hetal shows us an Indian-American perspective on pastry that mixes spice and love into a delicious equation.”
―Claudia Sandoval, chef, author of Claudia’s Cocina and winner of MasterChef season 6

“I can’t wait to start cooking from this book! It’s a sweet and delicious expression of the path of many second-generation immigrants from India in the United States.”
―Preeti Mistry, chef, entrepreneur and author of The Juhu Beach Club Cookbook

“The desserts are incredible. Hetal has made the exotic approachable and the complex easy. This book should be a big step forward for Indian desserts deserving their rightful place in the western world as works of art and tradition.”
―Meherwan Irani, Executive Chef, Chai Pani Restaurant Group

From the Back Cover

Former MasterChef Season 6 contestant Hetal Vasavada, nostalgic for the desserts she grew up with, shares a versatile selection of classic Indian recipes and creative interpretations. These desserts are more than one-note sweet treats; they?re complex creations, relying on a wide variety of spices, nuts and fruits for incredible flavor. Readers will learn to work with superb combinations like pistachio and rose, chocolate and ginger, fennel and almond, citrus and sesame and more. Hetal makes it easy to create unbelievable treats with simple instructions and easy-to-find ingredients. Readers new to Indian sweets will be introduced to traditional rice puddings, lassis and biscuits. Those already familiar with the go-to treats will be delighted to discover Hetal?s riffs on the classics. She infuses European and American favorites with Indian flavors, as in Mango Lassi French Macaroons and Pomegranate Curd Brownies. She also creates fun twists on Indian desserts, such as Thandai Cake Rusks, which combine a popular Indian tea cookie with the amazing flavor of thandai, a spiced beverage popular during festival season. This book will have 73 recipes and 73 photos.

Yummy scones and cinnimon rolls!
I bought the book because I like cardamom and I like to bake. In browsing through, the photo of cinnimon rolls caught my eye. That is likely because I am not familiar with most of the foods in the book. Most of the ingredients in the recipes are easily obtainable and the recipes read well.I chose to make the cinnimon roll recipe first. Easy to follow directions and yummy results. I added some plumped raisins to half of the batch with happy results all around.The stories behind the recipes give a sense of place and occasion that I find helpful in planning for when I will gather the ingredients and make a recipe. Many of them are calling out for me to give them a go!Five stars for the cinnimon roll recipe! I made the cinnimon rolls a second tme, refridgerating overnight and baking in the morning. Just as tasty.More stars for the future!The pear and cardamom scones are light and delicious.

The recipes in this cookbook are easy, approachable, and full of delicious flavors! The melding of classic recipes and Indian flavors is just astounding!! The first thing I made was almond chikki and everyone that tasted it was floored by how delicious it is! The delightful flavor of freshly ground cardamom and the earthy sweetness of jaggery are such wonderful surprises in what looks like it will be an ordinary almond brittle! The recipes in this book make my day sweeter and brighter!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have cookbook!
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2019

I love my new cookbook, each dessert I've made from it has made me feel very connected to my Indian roots. I've now bought 3 copies, one for myself and two for my cousins. The recipes are easy to follow and the book is filled with beautiful in color photographs of each finished dish. I 100% recommend this cookbook! The author also has an Instagram account @milkandcardamom where she shares clear, step by step videos of how to make traditional Indian dishes. I've been following along for over a year and Hetal has helped me become a much more confident cook. Thank you for this wonderful book!

I've only made the brownies (pretty good) and Gulab Jamun cake so far (delish!) and can't wait to try making more of the recipes. In fact, it's probably the only cookbook where I want to try everything in it.

This book is truly amazing. Being a fellow Indian it gives you a good blend between western and traditional recipes that many people would shy away from due to the complexity. Hetal has really brought her/our culture to life with her twists.
