Hi! I’m Vedika. I share things I like to bake and cook, usually inspired by recipes I’ve come across. My hope is to help you whip up an impressive (yet easy) dessert for your friends and loved ones. Cooking for me is therapeutic- it’s a way to improve my mood, procrastinate and relax. For as long as I can remember, I have loved being in the kitchen. When I was younger, I would pester mom to make animal shaped cookies like the ones our neighbours always used to give us. Fortunately, my mother hates cooking (but she’s a pretty good cook) – and my craving was that bad, I did it myself.
It was rough at first. I once baked cookies so hard, my sister’s braces broke. Then, I accidentally replaced the sugar with salt in a batch of peanut butter cookies. After many (many) fails, things finally began turning out good. So if the first few things you make don’t turn out right, it’s totally fine. Just follow the recipe the way I’ve written them, leave a comment and shoot me an email if you have any questions! I reply preeetty quickly.
I also love to write. This blog enables me to combine the two things I love together. Check out the Phenomenal Foodies tab to read and watch the interviews I’ve done interviews with some chefs, bloggers and Youtubers. Please leave me a comment- I absolutely love reading them, and I always reply!
Here are 15 facts about me.
- I started this blog when I was 14- how time has flown!
- I grew up in Poland, but my roots lie in India. My heart is divided between both.
- I really love baking, making videos and taking the photos, but my forte is definitely not social media or all of that technical stuff!
- Food is my passion but not my profession. And for now it will stay that way.
- I spend most of money on groceries.
- I have an older sister, by 4 years who is my harshest food critic, but biggest fan. And who also paints amazing things.
- When I was little and started baking, I made cookies so hard they broke my sister’s braces.
- I wrote a cookbook!
- During college I also developed an affinity for making non-dessert food, something I would like to post more of.

- I have a mad collection of plates, of all shapes and sizes that make their appearance from time to time in the food photos.
- I also create recipes for Bigger Bolder Baking.
