You love cakes and cookies but want to watch your weight? Maria Joseph can help you with her low-cal bakes
|
EVER HEARD of a low cal Christmas celebration? Sounds almost unbelievable? After all, Christmas is about goodies, plump raisins, rich flavours loaded with calories. And what is Christmas without the Christmas cake? Some of us have to watch our weight for health reasons or for looking good. Either way help is at hand. Maria Joseph makes low-cal goodies. Her much-in-demand Christmas fruit cake (Rs. 170) is low on fat as she uses margarine. Even her carrot and walnut cake (Rs. 180) and date and walnut cake (Rs. 170) are low fat. On order she even bakes special cakes for diabetics. So all those with a sweet tooth have some hope in Maria's kitchen.
"I keep in mind not just the calories but also the nutrition aspect when I bake," she says. Oatmeal and raisin cookies (Rs. 160 per kg) are also quite popular.
Having completed her catering course, Maria worked in the Maldives and now for a year has been baking cakes, cookies and making homemade wine. Of course, not all her cakes are low cal; the whopper of a rich chocolate cake (Rs. 300) enriched with a nutty filling and a chocolate topping is utterly delicious. If you are interested in this home-style baking, then call Maria and check out the varieties that include coconut, tea, Madeira and banana cakes. She home delivers at a nominal charge but accepts a minimum order of half kg only. For Christmas, she is offering a ten per cent discount (till December 25) for a minimum order of Rs. 500. Call Maria at 24962645/ 24960154 or mail her at honeydoll@hotmail.com
Her address: 5/320, Old Mahabalipuram Road, Okkiampet, Thoraipakkam, Chennai 96.
