In India, sweets are not simply food; they are memory, ritual and celebration made tangible. From ghee-laden ladoos to silver-leafed barfis and syrup-soaked delicacies, these treats are woven deeply into the fabric of everyday life and rites of passage. They mark birthdays, weddings and festivals, journeys and homecomings. A spoonful of halwa on a birthday, an offering to the gods at the temple, or a taste of something sweet before setting out on a journey are all gestures that carry meaning far beyond taste alone.
In Mithai, patisserie consultant and classically trained pastry chef Kumud Dwivedi traces this extraordinary legacy from the mithai shops of Old Delhi to the kitchens of Rajasthan and the sweet-scented lanes of Kolkata. Drawing on years of travel across India s most storied culinary landscapes, she brings these living traditions into your home with the precision of a trained chef and the warmth of someone who cooks and shares these sweets with the people she loves.
