Hello Sugar

Rich Dark Chocolate Truffle Cake.

I tasted a banana bread for the very first time in DamDim Tea Estate in North Bengal. It was baked by the DGM's bungalow cook, Ali. He was a veteran, about 74year old when I met him first. He was one of the very few cooks who learnt cooking and baking hands on from the ladies of the colonial times. Until then I had no clue that a ripened banana can be transformed into something classic. Ali was gracious enough to handover his recipe to me, and I passed it on to my cooks in the tea gardens to maintain the colonial tea cuisine going. Taste palletes change with time but somethings are simply timeless. The only change I've bought here is that I've tapered the sweetness.
