I'm sure all of you who love food have scrolled through Instagram pictures of bloggers day and night looking for delectable recipes to make at home. I have gone through the same thing for so long and have found so many amazing blogs on the way.
Bakewithshivesh by Shivesh and lifekirecipe by Amrita have always been in my favourites. I love the unique combinations Amrita uses and the variety of baked goods I can learn to make on shivesh's blog. Not only are these recipes easy to make but they also show that great taste can be achieved form the simplest of flavours. So when I saw that there was going to be a workshop I wasn't going to miss it at any cost and I'm glad I didn't! This was food heaven and I'm definitely looking forward to attending the next one too.
So the workshop started with everyone's introduction and shivesh and Amrita announcing the winners of the gifts sponsored by urban dazzle. After all that was done shivesh baked mini orange chia bundt cakes and oh! The aroma that filled the air was amazing! The taste matched the level equally and left everyone craving for more. The crunchiness of the chia seeds and the freshness of the orange made a sinful combination. The best thing was that the recipe was eggless and being an Indian this is a very good aspect as most of the people are pure vegetarians and do not consume egg. I hardly come across good baking recipes that do not use eggs but this one is going to get a special place in my collection.

The next thing that we learnt was a vibrant summer Mango , quinoa and arugula salad with a mango vinaigrette. This is a perfect salad recipe as it's super fresh and it's sweet and just spicy enough to make your taste buds light up. I never knew that mango would taste that good when combined with something savoury. This was one of the recipes that Amrita displayed.
Shivesh then taught us a Lemon Blueberry Cake with the best Cream Cheese Frosting ever. It was super smooth and creamy and had the perfect amount of sweetness ! The cake was light and airy and the fresh blueberries really did the trick. This was without a doubt my favourite recipe of the day and you're gonna be seeing a post about it soon !

The next thing Amrita taught us was a watermelon , chicken and glass noodle salad. It's a very nice alternative to the usual watermelon and feta salad that we get everyone. It's sure to impress !
Amrita also taught us how to make Cold Vietnamese Spring Rolls and the most amazing dipping sauce! The rolls were fresh and crunchy and the dipping sauce was sweet and sticky and full of flavour. The best part is that all these recipes are super healthy and perfect for the summers.

So I don't have pictures for this because this got over the moment it came out of the freezer but believe me this ice cream is marvellous and it's needs no churning! So no need to buy an ice cream maker for delicious ice cream right at home.

after this the chef from molecule displayed some dishes which left the entire group in awe. Yes, there was liquid nitrogen everywhere and he evne explained the science behind what he was doing!
This was the first dish: Potato tikkis with a stuffing of feta and apricots served with yoghurt shells, chickpeas and green chutney caviar

The next dish was an imitation of rasmalai. This dish had wasabi (yes, in a dessert!) as the chef used it as a palate cleanser. this also had a rose sponge which was made in just 40 seconds and some paan flavoured cotton candy.

All in all this was one stunning workshop and I've learnt a lot. The recipes were great and it was a wonderful experience. My favourite one was the Lemon Blueberry Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.
