I have not tried the apricot cupcakes yet, from VCTOTW, but you have just convinced me that I can put it off no longer! - and I think I could just live on lemon coconut tarts exclusively. What a fabulous feast for the eyes all this is - beautifully done!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-71591327156516031202008-07-06T20:38:00.000-07:002008-07-06T20:38:00.000-07:00Hi Debra,I wonder if you'll get this response. Bei...Hi Debra,<BR/>I wonder if you'll get this response. Being all-vegan isn't so easy in India, but it's a LOT easier in Southern India than in the north. So you'd have that going for you. Plus, it sounds like such an incredibly wonderful opportunity! If your heart says go, then go, and don't worry about the food. Chennai is a really big city and there are surely specialty markets where you can get some products. Some of the quick boil-and–eat Indian food packets are vegan (and the ingredients are always listed in English). There's tons of great produce in Southern India, including so many wonderful fruits that you can't find in the states. And cooking for yourself is not so hard. You'll find some places that will cook vegan food (mainly to watch out for ghee and curds)... and you can become a regular there. Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions. And tell me about your journey if you end up going, I'd love to hear about it and live vicariously through you!<BR/>:) AmeyAmeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291071425858947632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-27983061414494553212008-07-05T08:50:00.000-07:002008-07-05T08:50:00.000-07:00I keep going back to the photo of the cucumber dip...I keep going back to the photo of the cucumber dip even though the entire spread is breathtaking.

I've recently been given the chance to undertake a year-long internship with mentally ill homeless women in Chennai. It's an incredible opportunity, but I have to admit I'm a little worried about eating a compromised vegan (often ghee-laden) diet for such a long time. I don't speak Hindi or any Indian dialect so I'd have to communicate my concerns in English. I was just wondering if you had any thoughts on this - I am thinking I could get by with mostly cooking for myself and only eating out occasionally? Really sorry about the long long comment; please don't worry if this isn't a question you can answer. I love your blog, and it's encouraging me to find a good yoga centre in India (if I get there!) -DebraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-17096065670616566402008-06-30T13:56:00.000-07:002008-06-30T13:56:00.000-07:00Wow, you made some gorgeous food for this shindig!...Wow, you made some gorgeous food for this shindig!
