I like to introduce colourful spices, aromatic herbs and other Indian ingredients into traditional Western baked favourites. Whether it’s a sponge cake with a cardamom and coffee filling; puff pastry bites filled with fenugreek paneer; a swirly bread rolled with citrusy coriander, mint and green mango chutney; or a steamed strawberry pudding flavoured with cinnamon, I hope my Indian influences will transform your baking from the familiar to the exotic, from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
The Cardamom Trial is also available in German and Dutch translations!
Discover rare but precious traditional bakes from India, as well as new spice-infused recipes. Delve into the history of Indian herbs and spices and learn how to match foods and flavours.
