<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Superhero in
the Kitchen: AI to the Rescue</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">AI isn’t just
a behind-the-scenes helper; it’s a superhero in the kitchen. It watches over
how your food is made and ensures it’s stored safely. Think of it as your food
guardian, making sure everything you eat is not only delicious but also safe
and sound.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Fast and
Furious Orders</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Ever marvelled
at how quickly your food arrives after you order? AI is the speed racer here.
It helps restaurants and delivery services manage orders like a pro. Quick and
accurate order handling means your food reaches you in a jiffy, keeping your
hunger at bay.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Saving Green,
Going Green</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">AI isn’t just
about making things taste good; it’s also a money-saver and planet-saver. By
helping businesses find clever ways to save money – maybe by using less energy
or finding better deals on <a href="https://www.simplysensationalfood.com/2015/09/go-organic-for-one-week-challenge-my.html" target="_blank">ingredients</a> – AI contributes to a more sustainable
food future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Food Assistance for Dietary Needs</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">AI goes
beyond taste preferences; it's also a helping hand for dietary requirements.
Imagine having a personal nutrition assistant in your pocket. AI algorithms can
analyse your health data and dietary restrictions, offering personalized
suggestions and alternatives. Whether you're<a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/top-10-tips-gluten-free-diet" target="_blank"> gluten-free</a>, vegetarian, or have
specific health goals, AI ensures that your food choices align with your needs.
It's like having a food buddy that not only caters to your taste buds but also
considers your well-being, making the dining experience both delightful and
health-conscious.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu4_AYmJwVOSHDnBI7iMW17QEEkJuO4jlczGrGrAI-4FCKAKhqjzhXsy3jn3lcG8cP5BUH4B20E_AVn3vMlCw0hvYPDFVqR7sgfAKutAdjQGZ31h8rxtiR4kxzSBUFqrUplpVaue72n7CnEbfpFxSvphNOyt78Zwp_QagueuIV0iUX73c-PVsoP2gPUDWK/s5928/nadine-primeau--ftWfohtjNw-unsplash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5928" data-original-width="3920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu4_AYmJwVOSHDnBI7iMW17QEEkJuO4jlczGrGrAI-4FCKAKhqjzhXsy3jn3lcG8cP5BUH4B20E_AVn3vMlCw0hvYPDFVqR7sgfAKutAdjQGZ31h8rxtiR4kxzSBUFqrUplpVaue72n7CnEbfpFxSvphNOyt78Zwp_QagueuIV0iUX73c-PVsoP2gPUDWK/w424-h640/nadine-primeau--ftWfohtjNw-unsplash.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@nadineprimeau?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash">Nadine Primeau</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/close-up-photo-of-vegetable-salad--ftWfohtjNw?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash">Unsplash</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Diwali, the festival of lights, holds a special place in my
heart as it spans over four days, each brimming with joy and tradition. The
first day, Dhanteras, sets the tone for the festivities as we embark on a
journey of prosperity and wealth. It's a time when homes are adorned with
lamps, and the sparkle of new purchases fills the air.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Day 2: Kali Chaudas</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As the second day, Kali Chaudas, unfolds, we find ourselves
immersed in the rituals of warding off negative energies. This day carries a
sense of purification, both spiritually and physically. The lights continue to
flicker, dispelling darkness and inviting positivity into our lives.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Day 3: Diwali Day</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The third day, the grand Diwali itself, is a culmination of
excitement and devotion. Families come together, temples resonate with prayers,
and the air is filled with the sounds of joyous celebrations. Diyas (lamps) are
lit, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Day 4: New Year's Day</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As the fourth day dawns, we welcome the New Year with open
arms. It's a time for reflection, resolutions, and fresh beginnings. The entire
celebration wraps up in a crescendo of fireworks, symbolizing the triumph of
good over evil.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In these moments, we gather with family, attend temples, and
share laughter, making memories that linger long after the last firecracker has
faded away. The aroma of homemade Diwali sweets fills our homes, a sweet
offering to the gods and a gesture of love shared among family and friends.
Diwali is not just a festival; it's a tapestry woven with threads of tradition,
togetherness, and the radiant glow of a thousand lights.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

all my life, but in the last few years, my diet has been shifting more towards
a vegan diet. I have found that veganism is more readily accepted worldwide and
catered for in most places. Most restaurants have at least 1-2 vegan dishes if
not more on the menu and some restaurants have separate vegan menus that they
serve.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -0.25pt;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -0.25pt;">November is world vegan month and
I have joined forces with tastecard to enjoy a vegan meal at a local
restaurant. tastecard partners with many restaurants to offer discounts on
meals as well as days out and coffee clubs, along with many more benefits. tastecard
membership can start from as little as £5.99 a month or annual membership
from £39.99 offering excellent value for money. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgopGD_rOQL-9RDWq6wlIBhvKmCMT_3vQD7RRgfyGXb7JadaDxciplGfXlRSFCscHFwCnk1fz4v4VrB6IuKhnAVzHCjsxWhN4wEdzahMwyW1Ru8jgFiugkDrYhGhy4v8qrFC73I9VPfotmYBxUQ1-Bz9aRv-Y9V-NuzwfWGy3MfyKXqJ3jCJ52U2-uqFA/s449/Namaste%20Watford%20interior.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="299" data-original-width="449" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgopGD_rOQL-9RDWq6wlIBhvKmCMT_3vQD7RRgfyGXb7JadaDxciplGfXlRSFCscHFwCnk1fz4v4VrB6IuKhnAVzHCjsxWhN4wEdzahMwyW1Ru8jgFiugkDrYhGhy4v8qrFC73I9VPfotmYBxUQ1-Bz9aRv-Y9V-NuzwfWGy3MfyKXqJ3jCJ52U2-uqFA/w640-h426/Namaste%20Watford%20interior.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -0.25pt;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -0.25pt;">There are many <a href="about:blank">restaurants in Watford</a> to choose from. We decided to
visit Namaste Watford an Indian restaurant that came highly recommended by a friend who
had been there. Namaste Watford serves a good variety of Indian Cuisine. Looking
through the menu, there were ample dishes to choose from. We were extremely
impressed with the staff's knowledge of the ingredients used in the dishes and
their suitability for vegans and anyone with allergies. <o:p></o:p></p><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgreQFqfFn2K2haq53KRCaX3egnKCKkra2w0QFwbVrBTaKclrB4Ami232cHhVvfgzDOngQIBWCY11OV0_u-rQC8PKZ3v5OprpgxQLtCGNmasISl-eWNWO-p8-HJpW7lqW3uDLFLpcl4LsLdxuOUjcJaxgYil8h69_upfbHV-Qpw5V99NTEUaEagOfwKpQ/s2048/Namaste%20Watford%20bar.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgreQFqfFn2K2haq53KRCaX3egnKCKkra2w0QFwbVrBTaKclrB4Ami232cHhVvfgzDOngQIBWCY11OV0_u-rQC8PKZ3v5OprpgxQLtCGNmasISl-eWNWO-p8-HJpW7lqW3uDLFLpcl4LsLdxuOUjcJaxgYil8h69_upfbHV-Qpw5V99NTEUaEagOfwKpQ/w480-h640/Namaste%20Watford%20bar.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -0.25pt;">The restaurant is spacious,

Violife is the vegan alternative to cheese that tastes and cooks great! It resembles grated cheddar in appearance, it does soften upon grilling but does not go brown like normal cheese. The flavour is similar to dairy cheese and its a great cheese substitute.</p><p>There is a variety of products available in the Violife range, some that I have tried are:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiREAk-GUXzs1OAav0DrREpl-BEFAQHlq-GhLGH3ORsL0uGZttJ2pwsp_QZZMUxHjov-Hxy5S4nH_HDt-Y6M7OkzyeBLoT0JTkTZN9Ej00HrSuqRAvEd9xqVYuqDNE8O3Ym8diQjl0pU_0mOdUfrsDzzwQIo89xig822I4agajpfxcmpij6ZWJAbI3NRQ/s2048/Violife%20Le%20Rond.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiREAk-GUXzs1OAav0DrREpl-BEFAQHlq-GhLGH3ORsL0uGZttJ2pwsp_QZZMUxHjov-Hxy5S4nH_HDt-Y6M7OkzyeBLoT0JTkTZN9Ej00HrSuqRAvEd9xqVYuqDNE8O3Ym8diQjl0pU_0mOdUfrsDzzwQIo89xig822I4agajpfxcmpij6ZWJAbI3NRQ/s320/Violife%20Le%20Rond.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br />Violife Le Rond Camembert flavour is soft, round and creamy.

Organic farming methods are employed to produce the wine in the ancient traditional style.</div><div>The vines themselves are over forty years old, and the Qvevri method of fermentation is employed before the wine is decanted into barrels of French Oak. This silky-textured wine is lovely and light with fresh nuances of cherries, raspberries, and a collection of sweet spices. </div><div>This wine can rest quite comfortably for up to ten years, and a short period of allowing the wine to breathe will enhance the tasting experience.</div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://8wines.com/wines/beaumont-pinotage-2018" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Beaumont Pinotage</span></a></h3><div><br /></div><div>I have to admit that I am totally in love with South African wines. They represent excellent value, and their quality has grown exponentially over the last few decades. So here I'm going to recommend a Pinotage wine from the Beaumont winery.</div><div>Pinotage is a South African wine. Originally a combination of Pinot Noir and what was then known as Hermitage but subsequently found to be Cinsaut. Pinotage survived a rocky start, but the Kanonkop Pinotage was judged as the best red wine at the Robert Mondavi Awards in the early nineteen nineties.</div><div>The Beaumont Pinotage is an excellent example of the strides made in improving South African wines. The vines are over forty years old, and the wine is initially stored in concrete tanks and then aged in oak barrels for one and a half years.</div><div>Pinotage has a deep dark color and is full-bodied. It can comfortably rest for up to seven years, but I suspect it may improve even more with a further year or two. The wine is an excellent companion to warm winter meals of succulent beef and venison.</div><div>The Beaumont family moved away from the cooperative system in the mid-nineteen nineties to produce their own wines. Now second-generation Sebastian Beaumont works at keeping a close eye on sustainable and environmentally sound farming practices while creating excellent wines.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUSSDWYpavrfulgEHzGn8y7vel1inAcPDX1YyMnhhLusqCPaaD5ar_sMpyJ5RlVwZfQnASPk8sh1t-7mwLWC2yj7LdWxzCZcWoKWkrgucX9M9aOXBNiyji0SKiebmU5zr9jdG0lP-kVJQ0JyGzC1WdWI30XcTXSb4REEv2Ldwy3L8D_e82cH11FQK5Yw/s3888/maja-petric-vGQ49l9I4EE-unsplash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2592" data-original-width="3888" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUSSDWYpavrfulgEHzGn8y7vel1inAcPDX1YyMnhhLusqCPaaD5ar_sMpyJ5RlVwZfQnASPk8sh1t-7mwLWC2yj7LdWxzCZcWoKWkrgucX9M9aOXBNiyji0SKiebmU5zr9jdG0lP-kVJQ0JyGzC1WdWI30XcTXSb4REEv2Ldwy3L8D_e82cH11FQK5Yw/w400-h266/maja-petric-vGQ49l9I4EE-unsplash.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/es/@majapetric?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText"><span style="color: black;">Maja Petric</span></a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/s/photos/wines?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText"><span style="color: black;">Unsplash</span></a></span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Conclusion</h3><div>While there are no universal organic farming accreditation systems, individual grower organizations and countries have introduced qualifying requirements that allow wineries to call their wines organic.</div><div>Organic wines are a healthier option. There will still be some Sulphites in the wine but typically far less than wines not produced organically.

Cassava, plantain, matoke, makai (corn) are just a few of the vegetables I love cooking with. The cuisine is a mix of spicy, savoury and sweet flavours.</p><p>Cooking African dishes brings back childhood memories so I was really excited to receive a copy of African Twist a collection of plant based recipes with an African twist written by Maggie Ogunbanwo and Huw Jones.</p><p>The book is divided into 4 sections, Starters and Soups, Mains, Desserts and Party Favourites. The selection of recipes are all vegan and the variety is super. I particularly liked the chilli flavoured with couscous and grilled vegetables, coconut rice with papaya and the plantain curry. I recreated all these recipes and they all turned out delicious. The desserts were very unusual such as the plantain loaf, banfora and chin chin a type of sweet doughnut.The aubergine dip and the ginger spritzer with pineapple was really refreshing.</p><p>The recipes are easy to follow and the illustrations are beautiful. The recipes are well laid out and the book is a nice compact size that is perfect for any kitchen shelf. You can purchase the book from <a href="http://www.graffeg.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Graffeg</span></a></p><p>I spent a lot of time looking through the book and I picked so many favorites, finally I decided to make the Chin Chin, it is a Nigerian street food and party snack which is made especially during Ramadan and Christmas. Chin chins are diamond shaped deep friend little doughnut type bites that are totally moreish.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii3VnlLuwaiCImwwsBoO6AopxGnuK6N9honBmFYKiQQLkbch8ua1bcuDBGrKcbDVqpJAOPR455FfmUL31-4An8FVSdsKwm_Ul9h_MmuWY8gUHcZV2T9u4xdorBZw9Ixh8M4Ko_H79fKO0Vnl62tyDG6KFtolRgxxy6S7_-s0Yagizy6nnsgGZD5PdQvA/s1772/Chin%20chin%203.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1772" data-original-width="1772" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii3VnlLuwaiCImwwsBoO6AopxGnuK6N9honBmFYKiQQLkbch8ua1bcuDBGrKcbDVqpJAOPR455FfmUL31-4An8FVSdsKwm_Ul9h_MmuWY8gUHcZV2T9u4xdorBZw9Ixh8M4Ko_H79fKO0Vnl62tyDG6KFtolRgxxy6S7_-s0Yagizy6nnsgGZD5PdQvA/w640-h640/Chin%20chin%203.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>I followed the Chin Chin recipe in the book, The chin chins turned out absolutely delectable.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjLPJK5qKDtrHORP_crj4dVIzWjgLSdNi5AkYGoP6xZf8Qea9jHY7NuXLst84pOCG6ZyyR7BABZe0tOn11OWdm9G_3zLQFco_UWkABbcy2SL7dxmbPjqVvFsdQ3sCZyuSvN0qdXWvyRAXQeE5tcFg3GlIfbVzw59ulObUfv0hPHXhwdI50FeKIbnXNw/s2000/chin%20chin%20collage.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2000" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjLPJK5qKDtrHORP_crj4dVIzWjgLSdNi5AkYGoP6xZf8Qea9jHY7NuXLst84pOCG6ZyyR7BABZe0tOn11OWdm9G_3zLQFco_UWkABbcy2SL7dxmbPjqVvFsdQ3sCZyuSvN0qdXWvyRAXQeE5tcFg3GlIfbVzw59ulObUfv0hPHXhwdI50FeKIbnXNw/w640-h512/chin%20chin%20collage.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>

It can be cooked in so many different ways<br />This delicious one pot veggie rice with lentils also known in Gujarati cuisine as Chuti Khichdi is really flavoursome and is packed with lots of veggies and lentils to make it healthy and perfect to serve with raita, I make this often when I want comfort food or I am in a hurry where I only need to cook one dish that is a complete meal on its own.<br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br />What is Chuti Khichdi?</h3><br />Khichdi is savoury rice porridge usually made with short-grain rice and moong dhal (lentils) and flavoured with spices. A mixture of vegetables is often added to it to make it a complete meal. It is fairly glutinous in texture due to the use of short-grain rice. Chuti Khichdi is slightly different, it is made with long-grain rice and the rice grains are separate more like a pilaf. In Gujarat, the rice is commonly mixed with Tuver Dhal (split pigeon peas) and cooked with diced vegetables and spices. Again this is one pot meal that is just delicious with a Cucumber Raita, some pickle and pappodams.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">What Vegetables can you add to this Chuti Khichdi?</h3><br />You can add any seasonal vegetables but they work better if they are all cut in the same size.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">What is a one pot meal?</h3><br />One pot meals are dishes that are a complete meal in them selves. They don't need any other accompaniments. These dishes are time saving and great when you want a healthy and nutritious dish in a hurry. The added bonus is that you don't have to do lots of washing up as the meal can be cooked in one pot. <a href=" https://www.allcookwarefind.com/" target="_blank">All cookware find </a>have some lovely pots that would be ideal to cook the chuti khichdi in.<div><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Some examples of one pot dishes are:</h3><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#"><span style="color: black;">Achari Khichdi </span></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#"><span style="color: black;">Chinese style fried rice</span></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#"><span style="color: black;">Cheesy Pasta Bake</span></a> <br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#"><span style="color: black;">Aubergine Bake</span></a><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Dietary Tips:</h3><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Vegetarian </li><li>Vegan (Can be vegan if you omit the Ghee)</li><li>Gluten Free</li></ul><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br />Cooking Tips</h3><div><br /></div>To get perfectly cooked Rice use a ratio of 1-2 of rice and water. I always recommend using a shallow non stick pan with a lid to cook my rice dishes. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEVaEdiUzKAA5dzxEdnqCSIQ7SNvK4HnB5x-tR5r9pZtQ5v8MuALiRfR8sKTdooMhHtBPAvPuddpvrChyN3Bz7Rnj5aKYKxmbSh_Pqn3ysUavnqIM_XXz0ssBqqfIfTgDjnCN6LMhRyo7qsP09s1A137qRNPx7sZybrqUxTg33_uLQtxiteidecIOk1w=s2048"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEVaEdiUzKAA5dzxEdnqCSIQ7SNvK4HnB5x-tR5r9pZtQ5v8MuALiRfR8sKTdooMhHtBPAvPuddpvrChyN3Bz7Rnj5aKYKxmbSh_Pqn3ysUavnqIM_XXz0ssBqqfIfTgDjnCN6LMhRyo7qsP09s1A137qRNPx7sZybrqUxTg33_uLQtxiteidecIOk1w=w640-h480" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I used this Zyliss Cook Ultimate Pro Saute Pan which is made from hard anodized aluminium. This Swiss engineered pan has an alpine crystals non stick coating that is 8 times times tougher than any standard coating ensuring that nothing sticks. The pan heats up fast and ensures an even heat so that all food gets cooked evenly. the pan can be used on induction, gas, oven and is dishwasher safe too making it an excellent addition to any kitchen.

It helps you to concentrate and keeps your blood sugar levels constant. Most people skip breakfast and grab a chocolate bar or a coffee on the way. This is really unhealthy and does not do your body any good. My go to breakfast for my family is overnight oats. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">What are overnight oats?</h3><p>Overnight oats are a no cook method of making oatmeal.

on the Festival of Ganesh Chaturthi.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What is Ganesh Chaturthi?</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ganesh Chaturthi is also known as Vinayaka Chavithi. It is
an auspicious Hindu festival which is celebrated for 10 days every year. The
festival is celebrated in the Bhadra month as per the Hindu calendar which
generally falls in mid-August to September. It marks the birthday of the elephant-headed
Lord Ganesha.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How is it Celebrated?</span></h3><div style="text-align: left;">There are four main rituals which are performed during the
10-day long festival. </div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Pranapratishhtha</b><span style="font-family: inherit;">- Devotees install Lord Ganesh Idols in

You can also roll out round chapatis and cook them on a griddle until crispy if you prefer</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Can I use another sweetening agent?</span></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes you can, you can add sugar instead of jaggery , however you do not need to make a syrup you just add powdered sugar and melted ghee to the churma and form ladoos.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Can I add dry fruits to the ladoos?</span></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Adding finally copped dry fruits like almonds, pistachios and cashew nuts can be added if desired. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I don't have a ladoo mould how can I form the ladoos?</span></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can just make lime sized balls of the mixture and roll the ladoos in poppy seeds if you don't have a ladoo mould or use a mini icecream scoop</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How to store the ladoos?</span></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The ladoos will last up to a week in an air tight container, if you wish to store them longer keep them in the refrigerator and take them out and eat at room temperature.</span></p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Tips</b></span></h4><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Do not skimp on the ghee quantity or oil as it is necessary to use this quantity for achieving the texture.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Do not over cook the jaggery, only cook it enough to melt it, otherwise the ladoos will turn hard.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can also check out my video showing how to make these Churma Ladoos below:</span></p>

It is also known often as Karachi Halwa and it is a dense halwa with a jelly like texture which needs to be kept refrigerated to store. You can give this halwa any flavour such as rose, orange or pistachio. I have added saffron to this one as it imparts a lovely flavour and goes well with the almonds and pistachio.<br /><p></p>

Something that I could use for instagram flat lays too.

boredom affects us causing us to procrastinate. Our minds think of food and
snacking becomes a regular habit. I too fell into this trap of reaching out for
chocolate bars, crisps and biscuits. I knew this had to stop when my waistline
was expanding at an alarming rate, so I was really excited to discover <a href="http://www.zenb.co.uk/"><span style="color: black;">ZENB</span></a> a new, organic, plant-based brand that

Then read on
to learn more about how to write one that’s really going to sell<b>:</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 48.65pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Writing a best-selling cookbook – sounds like the dream,
right? If you’re a whizz in the kitchen, then you’ll probably have thought
about sharing your recipes with the world at some point.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Writing a cookbook might seem like the first logical step on
your way to becoming the next Gordon Ramsey or Nigella Lawson, but don’t go
getting too ahead of yourself. There are countless cookbooks taking up space in
bookstores up and down the country. So, if you’re going to write one, you’ll
need to make it stand out from the crowd.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There are a number of different factors to consider if you
want your cookbook to be a success. From general advice concerning the title,
right down to the nitty gritty details like getting<a href="https://www.geppsolicitors.co.uk/site/for-business/intellectual-property/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"> intellectual
property rights advice</span></a>, there’s a lot to consider. So, let’s take a look at
the ten tips you need to know if you want your cookbook to sell.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNXHutVpo1cXJ8O_Gt7Sbzt7errDt8FNoFQ58X9A7rvQnM329m5lWu1DG4HrZErqGDK7g7F13o2ZBkT_kRV6DyWOygRPCRwah5m30DK1qmoJdOnG-GDucJfn3Iavt7LT3krtl9CDrTp0yG/s612/cookbook1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="344" data-original-width="612" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNXHutVpo1cXJ8O_Gt7Sbzt7errDt8FNoFQ58X9A7rvQnM329m5lWu1DG4HrZErqGDK7g7F13o2ZBkT_kRV6DyWOygRPCRwah5m30DK1qmoJdOnG-GDucJfn3Iavt7LT3krtl9CDrTp0yG/w640-h360/cookbook1.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">10 Tips to Make Your Cookbook Sell</span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"> </span></span></span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"> 1.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Define Your Audience</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">First thing’s first – who do you want your cookbook to be
for? Are you writing it for busy working professions with very little spare
time on their hands, or retirees <span>with too much spare time on their
hands? What about students looking to cook on a budget?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Defining your audience will be absolutely critical if you’re
to make your cookbook a success. That way, you can write everything with a consistent
tone, and base the recipes you include around the lives of those you’re writing
for.</span></p>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Do Some Research</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There’s <a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/lifestyle/editors-choice-book-reviews/g25840997/best-cookbooks/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">no shortage of cookbooks out
there, </span></a>so why not get a flavour for the competition by doing a spot of
research? By reading some other cookbooks, you’ll get a better idea as to the
sort of approach you want to take for your own.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It should go without saying, but this doesn’t mean you
should go copying other people’s work. Alongside the ethical element of it all,
they’ll probably have some sort of intellectual property rights anyway. That
said, there’s nothing wrong with taking a bit of inspiration!</span></p>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Carefully Consider the Title</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Once you’ve got your target audience locked down, the next
thing you’ll need to spend some time thinking about is what your cookbook is
going to be called. The title is going to be the first thing that people read
and, if it isn’t interesting, they’ll already be eyeing up something else.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There are a number of ways you can help to make your
cookbook’s title stand out. That could include the use of play on words, using
a quote or even a pun.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Find Your Niche </span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You’ll need to think carefully about what your <span style="color: black;"><a href=" https://www.optimizely.com/uk/optimization-glossary/unique-selling-point/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">unique selling point</span></a> </span>is going to be. Granted, finding a
niche isn’t always easy. The sheer number of cookbooks that have been published
means that there’ll likely be a small element of crossover.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">That said, there is always a way of putting a twist on
well-established recipes to differentiate your cookbook and help you develop
your own style. Some ideas for niches could include:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">Dietary requirements recipes, like vegetarian
food</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Meals on a budget</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">100 recipes made using [insert ingredient name

</span><!--[endif]-->Have a Tone and Stick to It<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Striking the right tone can make all the difference. You
might want to maintain a casual, conversational style of writing, you may want
your readers to find themselves laughing at every opportunity, or you could
want to keep everything simple and straightforward.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There’s no right or wrong approach when it comes to tone.
What is important is making sure that tone remains consistent throughout.</span></p>

</span><!--[endif]-->Don’t Rush the Process<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p> </o:p>You shouldn’t feel the need to rush through the process of
writing a cookbook. If you do, chances are the quality of the finished product
is going to take a hit, leaving you with disappointing sales.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p> </o:p>Take your time to carefully plan everything out from start
to finish and make sure you’re happy with each part of the book before moving
on to the next.</span></p>

</span><!--[endif]-->Have an Easy-to-Follow Format<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p> </o:p>If your readers are finding themselves getting lost in a
maze of different recipes, then something has probably gone wrong somewhere
down the line. Keeping your format simple and easy to follow is essential if
you’re cookbook is to be success.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p> </o:p>Think about how you might group together different recipes
and how one might lead on to another, instead of bouncing from one extreme to
the other. The last thing you want is for your readers to put your cookbook
down out of frustration.</span></p>

</span><!--[endif]-->Look into Intellectual Property Rights<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p> </o:p>If you’re really serious about creating a lasting brand
image with the hopes of a flourishing cooking career, you may wish to research
your intellectual property rights. When any new writer comes onto the scene,
there’s always a chance that people will try to milk them for all their worth.
So, be sure to read up on your rights so you can protect them after
publication.</span></p>

</span><!--[endif]-->Double and Triple Check Your Writing<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Spelling mistakes are a no-go in any publication, so you’ll
want to do your best to avoid them from plaguing your work.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">That means <span style="color: black;"><a href=" https://www.scribbr.com/language-rules/what-is-proofreading/" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;">proofreading</span></span></a> </span>everything
you’ve written over and over. And, once you’ve finished proofing, you’ll need
to work with your editor (if you’re using one) to fine-tune everything that’s
already been put to paper.</span> </p>

</span><!--[endif]-->Do Some Keyword Research<o:p></o:p></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>This is for those who are considering digital publishing for
their cookbook. Keyword research means that you look up the sorts of words and
phrases people commonly search for when it comes to cookbooks, so that you can
use them to promote your own.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>Use Google and Amazon’s search bar as a starting point. Type
in a word and see what phrases come up as suggestions and think about how you
might incorporate them into your book. Easy as that!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
