Hey, Sweet People!

You are most welcome to sweetsdiary.com.

My name is Vandana, and I live in New Delhi, India, with my husband and two kids. Although I do not have a professional degree in cooking, I have learned it by experimenting, failing, and retrying.

Apart from cooking, another thing I am passionate about is writing. So, I learned content writing to enhance my hobby as a skill. Now, with SweetsDiary, I am blending my two skills together to help people not only learn healthy sweet recipes but also get answers to any queries related to sweets.

Here, I am not claiming that I will cover every sweet on earth, but I will try to cover as many as I can.

A Little More About My Cooking Journey

Being from an average Indian family, cooking has been a legacy passed down from my mother and grandmother. Before marriage, I was not very good at cooking, but after marriage, this was the only work I had to do to keep myself busy.

The turning point in my cooking journey came when I thought I had mastered cooking and asked my seven-year-old daughter what she wanted to eat, confidently telling her I could make anything. She replied, “Hot Cake”, a dish she had seen in her favorite cartoon, Doraemon.

I was speechless because I had never baked a cake at home before. So, I started learning baking on YouTube, and seriously, I discovered that it is my passion. I didn’t just learn baking but also cake designing. There is a huge difference between my first cake and some of my recently designed cakes.

Apart from cakes, I started exploring other desserts and cuisines, especially during lockdown, as I realized how much I loved it.

Another turning point in my cooking journey came when I started my spiritual journey. When I began practising yoga, eating healthy became a challenge for me because I am someone who rushes for sweets after finishing a meal. So, instead of suppressing my sweet cravings, I started learning about diet and nutrition and began creating healthy sweet recipes.

Some of the recipes I developed include:
Whole wheat & jaggery cake Dates and chocolate desserts
Choco wheat idli for my kids
Banana smoothies and honey-date Kaju Katli for my post-meal cravings & fasting

While sharing these recipes, I will always be on this learning journey, continuing to try new and innovative ideas to bring something unique for you!

A Little More About My Writing Passion

If cooking is a legacy, then writing is something that belongs to me alone.

When I was in 9th grade, I wrote my first poem, and that’s how I discovered my hobby, which has stayed with me ever since.

During the years when I was busy taking care of my children, writing took a back seat, but as it was always within me, it has now returned as my kids have grown older.

Although I am not very active right now, if you love poetry, you can check out my Instagram page: @thewriter_says_.

To enhance my writing hobby as a skill, I joined a content writing course and successfully completed an internship with Henry Harvin. To know more about my writing journey follow me on Linkedin.
