ABOUT THE BOOK

Eggless Baking with Shivesh, authored by the celebrated food blogger and food stylist Shivesh Bhatia, is a definitive, modern guide dedicated to the art of baking without eggs. Published by HarperCollins India, this highly acclaimed cookbook addresses a significant demand in the global culinary market, particularly within India, where a massive population follows strict vegetarian diets or prefers egg-free confectionery. The core philosophy of this text is that eggless baking should never require compromising on texture, structure, or flavor. Instead of treating eggless baking as a restrictive alternative, Bhatia presents it as an elite, accessible art form rooted in the creative use of kitchen staples to achieve incredible moisture and crumb structure.

The book is thoughtfully organized into highly scannable, recipe-driven chapters that take readers through a diverse array of sweet treats. It opens with a comprehensive primer on the science of egg replacement, detailing how ingredients like yogurt, condensed milk, buttermilk, applesauce, and flaxseed paste interact chemically with leavening agents to replicate the emulsifying properties of eggs. The subsequent chapters feature over 80 meticulously tested, foolproof recipes ranging from foundational sponges, pound cakes, and decadent chocolate cakes to intricate layered desserts, tarts, cookies, and artistic cupcakes. A hallmark feature of this work is its extreme emphasis on visual presentation and step-by-step guidance. Accompanied by gorgeous, vibrant food photography styled entirely by the author, the book provides home bakers with precise ingredient metrics and troubleshooting tips to ensure professional-tier results without the guesswork.
