Hello!

A warm welcome to my blog 'The Mango Epicurean'!! 

I'm Shweta Parikh, a 20-something from Bombay (don't like calling it Mumbai), who's just finished her MBA, here to share my trysts with baking. This blog stems from the push I've gotten from some beloved people who saw potential in the food pictures I'd occasionally put up on Facebook. I absolutely love gorging on desserts and baked goodies. That's where the passion to learn the process comes from! 

You will also find here, in due course of time, non-baked items which excite me. Any break from gaining calories  should be welcome! :) 

I'm a poor eater. There are so many things I hate eating (my friends and family will vouch for what a pain it is to dine with someone who won't as much as touch paneer). I know! Can you believe it?? I still try to work around these hitches to come up with something that people enjoy.

Cooking and baking for me are, apart from being my biggest stress-buster, an extension of my love for people. That one smile from a dish of mine someone tasted, means the world to me. All the measuring,whisking, folding etc. etc. becomes so much more worthwhile! So when someone goes 'yumm', I'm like 'yayy'!!

Which is why, I'd like to say to you, dear reader, that any sort of feedback/suggestions/comments will be more than welcome. I'd be delighted to hear from you. D.E.L.I.G.H.T.E.D. 

Thanks!

Cheers and enjoy!
