Whether work from home or not, weekends call for some fun times. If you want to make the best of your weekend mood, try baking something different, which you have not tried before. And what if we tell you that we have the perfect recipe that you would love to try. In the season for immunity boosters, we have a special turmeric-peppercorn bake. Take a look at the interesting take on break from chef Vicky Ratnani that recently caught our attention.
This is what he had to say.
“Piperine in the black pepper helps with the absorption of curcumin – the active ingredient of turmeric and thus the bread is called #XBread,” remarked chef Ratnani.
