If you’re a chocoholic or simply like your desserts, Foodaholics should be of interest to you. A venture by Chef Kishi Arora, Foodaholics is a must-try for anyone who has even an iffy sweet tooth.

I first met Kishi via this blog and then again at Mad Over Donuts. Did you know most or all the lovely creations at Mad Over Donuts are the brainchild of Foodaholics? Probably not. I loved the donuts and sneak a few whenever possible.

A little while back Kishi announced she’s going to go public. No, she isn’t having an IPO or anything, though knowing her, that day isn’t very far away. She simply meant her creations are now going to be available to all of us out there, who are sick of the staid, cliched offerings of the bakeries Delhi has no dearth of.

While the offerings at Foodaholics aren’t exactly cheap, they’re probably one of the best in town. This is evident from the ingredients used. For example, locally available Indian chocolate tends to leave a rather cloying texture on the tongue and also has a tendency to give the indulger a sugar rush. Not so with the French and Belgian chocolates used by Foodaholics, which tend to refresh rather than weigh down your palate. The other differentiator is the type of fat used in the chocolate. Locally supplied chocolate tends to have high percentages of vegetable fat, whereas the French variety use pure cocoa – makes all the difference to the final taste. Enough about the chocolate; lets talk flavor now. None of the vulgar synthetic stuff in little plastic bottles for Foodaholics customers! No sir – only the best Tahitian Vanilla and perhaps a dollop of honest to goodness Belgian among other authentic ingredients find their way into the cakes and desserts here.

Hmm… this is beginning to sound like marketing spiel now. Nuff said.

Foodaholics has quite a tempting range of cakes and desserts that are quite unlike those found in bakeries and I’ll say they’re better than most starred hotels too. With home deliveries all over the Delhi/NCR region and the high levels of customisation built into the product, I’ll say Kishi has a winner in Foodaholics Cakes and Desserts.

You can reach Kishi at kishi@foodaholics.in or at +91.9873164293.
