Bake It Happen: Deeba Rajpal

Bake The World A Better Place.

Creatorshala is back with a yummy article about a woman who extremely passionate about baking-Deeba Rajpal. Deeba is voice and face of the blog Passionate About Baking and as the name suggests she pours her heart into everything she bakes, a recipe developer, food stylist and food writer. She is making us fall in love with food all over again and trust me when I say this, it’s rather dangerous to go through her Instagram feed and blog if you have a sweet tooth.

Deeba has been baking at home since the last 15 years and it’s nothing else that calms her the way baking does. She finds the entire process challenging, inspirational, creative, therapeutic and she cannot help but enjoy this even more with each passing day. It’s beautiful to see how she incorporates seasonal ingredients and plays with colors in all her recipes.  You’ll find readings and photographs of her exploring the kitchen and other interests-food styling,  nature, art, photography and travel.

This bundle full of talent has worked as a consultant with Marico, shot recipe videos with the World Famous Chef Vikas Khanna, freelanced as a food stylist with a couple of well know brands, wrote articles for digital platforms and magazines and she was also seen in travel show shot for NDTV Good Times. Her photographs are a complete treat to the eyes and you’ll not be able to get the images out of your mind. The recipes are easy to follow, innovative and very very very tempting. You’ll want to go to your kitchen and start baking, we bet!

Have you heard of St Gallen? It’s a city in northeastern Switzerland, tucked away south of Lake Constance. It’s quite off the beaten path yet one visit to the city and you are charmed! On a trip to Switzerland last month, a tiny group of 30 digital influencers from over 21 countries were invited to beautiful Davos,Graubünden. Our hosts were Swiss International Air Lines, Swiss Travel System, Destination Davos Klosters and Switzerland, and it was a dream trip. Post Davos, we divided into specialist groups, and the food group happily headed to St Gallen. We spent a couple of days in St Gallen. The traffic free old city with it’s cobbled streets and colourfully painted oriel windows is charming. We spent one morning by the farmers market, lesiurely coffees with local bakes at a traditional Swiss bakery, devouring Luxemburgli, more coffee, chocolate shops, cake shops, patisseries… Afternoon saw us hop on the self service funicular, The Mühleggbahn, that runs up the hillside from the old town for a picnic by the pond. Light eats, local wine, fruits, dips, dried meat & such deliciousness later, we spent another hour just wandering the streets of the old city which are charming beyond belief. The old city houses St Gallen Cathedral, a gorgeous 18th century baroque cathedral. The Abbey with the oldest library are a designated a World Heritage Site, and have just recently been opened to public. The beauty, art & ambiance is indescribable.Hungry again, I grabbed a coffee gelato while @Kenhuntsfood hunted down a curry bratwurst! St. Gallen’s variety, known as “St. Galler bratwurst,” is most popular across Switzerland & is a must have. Eat it in a burli roll or plated with a hearty potato rostii, or like Ken, have it with curry! We then raced to catch the @swisstravelsystem 4:02 back to Zurich where a special private @flyswiss aircraft awaited to take us for our own flight over the Swiss Alps! {See it in Switzerland story highlights}. Everything in Switzerland works like clockwork, and everything there is all heart! We had the best time ever! Thank you @myswitzerland ! 📷 My picture @kenhuntsfood #inLOVEwithSWITZERLAND #lovestgallen #switzerland #swisstravelststem
