As we find ourselves done with the auspicious season of Divali and Dhanteras, perhaps what we all reckon as an age old tradition – the time has come to gorge our ever frivolous palettes with some decadent, hand crafted sweet treats for the season. We’ve always used excuses when it comes to seasonal extravaganzas, but once you come to what may be considered a spiritual awakening of some sorts... Basically you’ll acknowledge that your tongue has always been instinctive and you don’t need to rely over any occasion to treat yourself. Which is why we at Homegrown have made a list for all of you with a sweet palette and have somehow managed to compile a list of all things delightfully saccharine.

I. Gur Chini

II. Crumbs and layers

Where: No 7, Thiruvalluvar St, Metha Nagar, Rajaram Mehta Nagar, Chetpet, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600031

This independent homegrown Chennai based bakery has earned itself a name through recreating some of the most sought after desserts, in the industry, in a rather quirky and creative way. Baklava wouldn’t just solely just be the usual honey glazed pastry but chocolate baklava bracelets with a gooey chocolate centre and a dash of pistachios to seal the deed.

Whether it’s sinful Nutella biscotti to chocolate coated coconut truffles, their scrummy treats will leave you picking on the remnants and the crumbs. Now that almost everyone seems to be leading a sedentary lifestyle their expertise understands that and pays heed to the health attributes too, swapping buckwheat and almond flour instead of using all purpose flour, which always thrives to be on top of the list, in it’s high glycemic count. Fellas get out your pens for they also give out recipes, and believe me you wouldn’t wanna pass on such serendipity.
