Not Just My Mother ~

06.11.46 - 04.08.2018

I wrote something for my mother and hope it resonates with you all. Because we all have lost someone dear to us and experienced grief. The way it shapeshifts through the years is incredible. The hole in the heart fills up with memories but also regrets and resolve to care for people who mean something to you. There is nothing more effective than grief to change perspectives and priorities in life. 2018 was a momentous shift for me and I am a better person for it.

P.S: swipe to read the full text.

In that suspended moment just before floating off to sleep oftentimes I think of my mother. Gone 8 years now.

How I would like to meet her again. Not as my mother but as a woman with her own individual life story. I began to see glimpses of it in my early adult life - the way she laughed with abandon, at others and herself, how she mocked my father with a glint in her eyes, how she hungrily tasted something new, how excited she was about wearing salwar kameez late in her life after wearing sarees for most of it. I wish I could know her as a person with ambitions, regrets and pride in the things she did so well. A person with texture and a past before she became a bodily representation of home for all of us.

As a young school girl with hopes, dreams and daily dramas.
As a young bride thrilled with a new life yet overwhelmed with new responsibilities.
As a young mother overflowing with love for her child yet feeling utterly unprepared to take care of one.

I didn't get to know any of these versions of her, fully.

If only she could come into my life as a girlfriend and we could start all over again and in time share secrets, stories from another time and people we were before we met each other.

Hello folks, we have a few plans unfolding at the Bakery for which we need good people.

We are currently looking to hire for:
1. Junior, entry level positions: no experience needed just bring along great attitude and willingness to put in the work.
2. Senior level position: We are looking for someone experienced for our cakes and pastry section. Anyone with 2-4 years of experience would be ideal.

Given that it's a small team, expect cross functional exposure and in a pinch a cake person might be mixing breads one day too so bring along some flexibility as well. Do keep in mind, these are all long term, full time positions in Balewadi, Pune.

Anyone interested can send a brief profile along with a short write up to me at [email protected].

We have had some great people work with us and we hope many more will walk through our doors.

For the rest, share the post far and wide!

*What makes a smashing sandwich*
PART II - How to build a sandwich?

We ran through the components of a great sandwich, let's look at some of the factors that contribute to its deliciousness.

1. Ratios: A great sandwich is, more often than not, perfectly balanced. The bread will not be too thick or thin. The spread won't be too much or too runny that it explodes all over the place. The filling won't slide out in an instant. The idea is to be able to taste all the components, in harmony, with each bite.

2. Temperature: Some sandwiches are great when at room temperature - think of a simple chutney, cucumber & tomato sandwich, a sourcream & jam sandwich OR a salted butter, mustard & ham sandwich. On the other hand, a 2-3 day old slice of bread can be given a fresh lease of life by toasting and filling it with sturdier components.

3. Placement: Golden rule of grilled cheese is simple for me. Cheese on both sides of the bread, sandwiching any filling of choice (grilled onion, stir fried greens, ham, peppers). Similarly, the spread has to go first and parts that are likely to slide around need to be well 'sandwiched' and not be close to the bread.

4. Flavour & texture: This is the big one. Keep a good balance between salty, bright, sweet and spicy, flavourwise and soft, creamy, crunchy & juicy, texture wise. A good amount of seasoning and how they interplay is the key. For eg, salty feta needs a creamy mild hummus while a mild mozzarella needs a drizzle of balsamic glaze, flaky salt &/or capers for balance.

This concludes my TED talk (!) on the art of Sandwich making - hope it inspires you to think creatively and come up with your own sweet combinations. Bon appetit!

Guys, we got an Ice cream maker last year and have been experimenting, off and on, with it, much to our collective delight.

We hit the jackpot with a few flavours and are bringing them to Ground Up on Sunday, 25th January, 5 to 7 PM.

We'll have two flavours with us - Strawberry shortcake & Chocolate with miso jaggery toffee. Both are creamy, delicious and a perfect ending to your Banh mi & soda meal.

Come by, see us and grab a scoop!

If you are a sandwich nut like me, this is for you.

*What makes a smashing sandwich*
Part l - Components

1. Bread: You gotta a soft fluffy bread or something chewy and crusty? This itself decides a lot of things. You don't want to weigh down a soft bread with a heavy filling but you definitely want crunch. On the other hand, a crusty chewy bread needs a toothsome filling but also creaminess as an offset.

2. Sauces/ spread: a dry sandwich is no fun. Mayo, hung curd, mustard, green chutney, pesto, hot sauce, cream cheese, hummus - all of these are worthy candidates. I firmly believe the sauces make or break how mouth watering the sandwich finally is.

3. Crunch: Texture can add a winning chompworthy quality to the sandwich in an instant. Fresh salad leaves, a tangle of herbs, coleslaw, crunchy veg like sliced peppers, onion or cucumber work well.

4. Pickles: My favourite addition. Pickled onion, chilli & beetroot, capers, olives - these delightfully tangy and salty bits liven things right up and can also double up as the crunch element.

5. Cheese: A fundamental building block. Soft cheeses like ricotta, cottage cheese, fresh goat cheese, burrata etc can be used interchangeably with spreads as they add creaminess, other than flavour. On the other hand, semi hard cheeses like cheddar, gouda, edam, gruyère or provolone can be used specially well in a hot sandwich like a grilled cheese.

6. Filling: The main bulk of the sandwich, this involves things like cured or roasted meats, boiled egg, roasted vegetables, any sort of patty, grilled paneer, aloo tikki, day old vada or cutlet. The filling is what walks a sandwich from a light snack to meal category. Add some chips and/ or a salad on the side and it's a legitimate lunch or dinner.

A delicious and wholesome sandwich can be built using any of these 2-6 elements - the combinations are endless and completely dependent on your pantry, fridge & mood.

In the next addition of this Sandwich thesis (!!), we'll discuss how to build one - stay tuned - and in the meanwhile let us know what's your go-to sandwich?
