Shalmali Kholgade on World Baking Day: Baking is a great distraction for me, love making banana cake
'I have a massive sweet tooth. So, baking was a natural progression for me. It is also a great distraction. It helps me focus on something other than work,' says singer Shalmali Kholgade, as she bakes a banana cake while shooting for HT City on World Baking Day today. Shalmali, who has songs such as Lat Lag Gayi (Race 2), Balam Pichkari (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani), Daaru Desi (Cocktail) and Pareshaan (Ishaqzaade) to her credit, says her creativity as a musician enhances when she gets to working on a song after baking. 'Whenever I have a free day, I bake. It helps me relax and recover from a hectic schedule. On those days, I'd pull up an old recipe or try a new one I saved on Instagram. Banana bread is my all-time favourite. The one I make often is a 5-ingredient, no flour, no added sugar recipe that also fits into my diet as an afternoon snack. It doesn't require any elaborate equipment, hence is quite convenient to bake,' says the singer, who takes to baking, knitting or art for stress relief. Bachpan ki yaad The singer goes on to share how her love for baking crops from her fond childhood memories of baking a cake with her aunt. 'When I was in school, my aunt lived with us. She would often bake carrot cake and that was the highlight for me. I would sit on the dining table and whip eggs or sift the flour or grate the carrots and just wait impatiently for the cake to come out of the oven. I also loved licking the remnants of the cake dough that didn't make it into the oven. I would never have the patience to wait for the cake to cool down after it came out of the oven.'

Divya Dutta says her passion for it began in the lockdown
For Divya Dutta, her passion for baking took shape in the Covid times. And while that time is long gone, what stayed was her love for whipping up goodies in the kitchen. On World Baking Day today on May 18, she spills the beans. "It all comes from childhood... my mother used to prepare this pineapple cake on special days. Uss time pe toh do hi cake hote the- pineapple and chocolate. The whole thing used to become a fun activity when I was small... one of us children would be asked to make the batter, one would break the eggs... you feel very inclusive doing something like this. Inn sab cheezon ke baad kya nikalke aata tha oven se, we all used to laugh. Maza aata tha lekin," recalls the 47-year-old. Also read: Divya Dutta: I don't work with directors who just tell me on set 'kuchh bhi kar do' Then as she grew up, her mother insisted that she should know how to cook, "I started taking cooking classes. All these little things get lost somewhere when you become an actor and don't get the time. For me, cooking has always been the time when you put on the music and get in the kitchen. I do whenever work allows me, but whenever I do, it's like a celebration." During Covid, she adds, half of the world was inside their kitchens, and she was too, "I realised a lot of people I know became good bakers. What I do in my work is what I do in my cakes: trial and error! I am very instinctive. I love trying new recipes, and whenever I do, I either see happy faces or polite faces!" Divya's favourites include: "an almond and chocolate cake, with a little bit of orange in it. This recipe comes from a friend. Something that I make really well is called wooden log, with biscuits and puddings put together and baked."
