Back To The Basics – Back to the roots! — Reviewed!

I am a vegetarian but personally inclined towards vegan food. Veganism is a protected belief, a comprehensive lifestyle choice to avoid animal cruelty and exploitation. Glad to know people are getting aware of the healthy-eating trend in India. Initially, even though people wished to be on those diets but there were not very much choices available in the Indian market.

With the soaring demands, came in many cafes, home-chefs making life easy. So, whether you want vegan or dairy-free or even gluten-free delicious desserts and bakery items one stop solution is the Back To The Basics, a takeaway and delivery place located in Koregaon Park. Compassion and Kindness is the key to the brand. Connect with nature and living beings, don't forget the roots, hence Back To The Basics.

Owned by Mrs. Anuradha Sawhney, all the dishes are curated by her. The menu ranges from Quinoa Bread to Organic Peanut Butter, Almond Butter, Vegan Cheese to Keto Tarts, to Vegan Chocolates. You ask it and they have it.

I was in awe by the choices they have to offer especially Vegan Butter and Vegan Cheese (VCheese). I must say, Anuradha is a culinary expert. Following are the dishes I tried....
  • Pineapple Cream Cake
  • Chocolate Truffle Cake
  • Vegan Cheese and Butter
  • 100% Whole Wheat Bread
  • 100% Maida Free Spinach Bread
Pineapple Cream Cake was 80% whole wheat, sugar-free with plant-based cream. Isn't it a wonderful feeling to indulge in guilt-free dessert? The soft, spongy, light, moist, healthy cake had the perfect flavour of pineapple. The price of the cream cakes starts at Rs.500



On the other hand the Vegan Chocolate Truffle Cake was pure indulgence with the goodness of jaggery. Dense, deep, silky, layered chocolate had ganache glaze. Sinfully decadent yet unbelievably healthy! This too was 80% wholewheat and sugar-free. The cake is perfect for the chocolate lover! Highly Recommended!! Pricing starts at Rs.600



Vegan Cheese and Butter surprised me literally! The taste and texture was no less than the regular dairy butter and cheese. I made a couple of dishes out of it and the taste was mind-blowing. Definitely, a wonderful alternative to the people avoiding animal products. Cheese is priced at Rs.200 for 150 gms and the Butter is Rs.200 for 200 gms (soon to be introduced)





The delightfully nutty taste was the feature of the 100% Whole wheat bread. Slathered it with the vegan butter, mint-coriander chutney and garnished with VCheese...Oh! absolute bliss.



Also, the 100% Whole Wheat Spinach bread was a healthy variation of the regular white bread. Green textured bread was visually appealing. Made some delicious sandwiches and devoured them guiltlessly.
