Next time you are drooling over a sweet chocolate tart or quiche in the window of a bakery, think of me saying “You can make it at home!”. This quiche dough is one of the basic pastry doughs you learn in cooking school. Add a little sugar and the savoury dough becomes sweet. Add a little cocoa powder and sweet becomes chocolate. Remember to have the butter and eggs absolutely chilled! And you can replace the filling with anything you want!

Q.1) So you’re a physicist turned cheese maker… How and why?
A. I’ve always spent time in the kitchen. While working towards my doctorate in Physics, I saw my growth in the kitchen get stunted, which had since created a growing need of spending time around food. Cheese making requires a certain discipline and intuition that one easily inculcates from an academic lifestyle. It was a marriage made in heaven. Oh, and I REALLY REALLY like cheese!
