@dcviated / Diluc said:

"There are however, some things about Mondstadt... that I hope never change." That's a loaded glance Diluc is casually passing over at you, Honey.

She rather likes a lot about this land: from the generally jovial mood of its people and the at-times sleepy pace of life, centered around simple trades and shared celebrations; to the wind which sweeps down from the mountains to caress the valley, carrying dandelion seeds and whispers of songs from afar.

That doesn't mean she struggles to listen to his counterpoints and criticism of his homeland; rather the opposite, the sweetmaker lends her ear eagerly as Mr. Ragnvindr reminisces on how the nation, and the city itself—rising in fachwerk facades around them on any given side, pale bricks and dark, saturated timber—have changed over the years, and levies some stern words against those things which he saw needed more adjustment... it is proof, in its way, that he cares very deeply for his homeland, on some level—that he should expect better from it, and its people.

As he goes on, her gaze wanders from him to the sights around, taking inventory of the windmills which turned, stirred by the warm summer breeze, and the merchants who milled about the lower quarter of the city, going about their daily business; occasionally flitting down to a little sketchbook she has under one hand, taking inspiration from their surroundings, and their conversation, to scheme some new showpiece for the store window.

It's in one such moment where he quiets, then makes his contrary remark, and the meaningful pause which comes after draws her attention back up to look at him before long—obligingly curious, at first, to seek his meaning.

Only, of course, to find that meaning laid out quite clearly in his gaze.

Loaded, indeed; with quite enough force to see an uncharacteristically nervous laugh bubble over candy lips, and a flushed color claim the tips of pointed ears... but she's only shy for half a beat, before her expression slips somewhere gentler, soft cheeks rising to make crescents of lavender eyes—taking him in, in turn.

❝ ...yeah. Me too. ❞

Bengali Sandesh: A Sweet Story of Tradition and Taste

Bengali Sandesh (or "Sondesh") is not just a dessert—it’s a piece of history, a culinary tradition, and a symbol of Bengali culture. Made from simple ingredients, this delicacy captures the hearts of food lovers with its rich, melt-in-the-mouth texture and delicate sweetness. Today, let’s explore what makes Sandesh so special, how it’s prepared, and the unique flavors that keep people coming back for more.

A Little History of Sandesh

The origin of Sandesh can be traced back to 18th-century Bengal, where it began as a simple sweet made from sugar and chhena (fresh cottage cheese). This was a time when sugar was newly introduced in the region, and Bengali sweetmakers eagerly experimented with it. Over the years, the art of making Sandesh evolved, with many variations emerging to cater to diverse tastes and festive occasions.

In the early days, the dessert had a relatively simple form, but as Bengali confectioners became more skilled, they began crafting elaborate designs, flavors, and presentations. Sandesh soon became a symbol of celebration, often enjoyed during festivals, weddings, and religious ceremonies. Even today, it remains an integral part of Bengali culture, a treat you’ll find at sweet shops, family gatherings, and celebrations across Bengal.

The Art of Making Sandesh

Making Sandesh is truly an art, as it requires precision, patience, and the finest quality ingredients. The base of Sandesh is chhena, the fresh cheese made by curdling milk with a bit of lime juice or vinegar. Unlike paneer, chhena is softer, which gives Sandesh its smooth, creamy texture.

Here’s a brief outline of how Sandesh is traditionally prepared:

Preparing the Chhena: Full-fat milk is boiled and curdled with lemon juice or vinegar. Once the whey is drained, what remains is soft, crumbly chhena, perfect for Sandesh.

Mixing with Sugar: The chhena is kneaded to a smooth consistency, then combined with sugar or jaggery for sweetness. This mixture is gently cooked on low heat, being stirred continuously to achieve the right texture—soft, smooth, and slightly grainy.

Shaping and Garnishing: After cooking, the Sandesh mixture is molded into different shapes—rounds, squares, or creative floral designs. Traditional molds may also be used, giving Sandesh beautiful embossed patterns. Many variations are garnished with slivers of pistachio, almond, saffron, or a touch of cardamom powder.

Types and Flavors of Sandesh

Sandesh comes in an array of flavors, and Bengali sweetmakers have a knack for experimenting with both traditional and contemporary twists. Some popular varieties include:

Plain Sandesh: This is the simplest form, with pure chhena and sugar as the main ingredients.

Kacha Golla Sandesh: Soft and crumbly, this type is made without cooking the chhena extensively, keeping it light and fresh.

Gur (Jaggery) Sandesh: A winter specialty, this Sandesh uses date palm jaggery, or "nolen gur," which gives it a unique caramel-like flavor and beautiful golden color.

Chocolate Sandesh: A modern twist on the classic, this version incorporates cocoa powder or melted chocolate for a fusion treat.

Bhapa Sandesh: This steamed version is slightly firmer and often flavored with cardamom or saffron, resulting in a delightful, melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Fruit-flavored Sandesh: Some variations feature fruit purees like mango or pineapple, giving the Sandesh a light, fruity taste.

Nutritional Benefits of Sandesh

Though Sandesh is a dessert, it offers some nutritional benefits too. Chhena, being a good source of protein, calcium, and essential amino acids, makes Sandesh a somewhat healthier dessert option compared to others. The dessert is generally lower in fat and sugar, particularly when traditional sweeteners like jaggery are used. The addition of nuts like pistachios and almonds further enhances its nutritional profile, providing healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.

Sandesh in Festivals and Celebrations

In Bengal, Sandesh is a must-have during festivals like Durga Puja, Diwali, and weddings. It’s also common to see Sandesh gifted as a token of love, respect, and celebration. Many families in Bengal have their own treasured Sandesh recipes passed down through generations, adding a touch of nostalgia and heritage to each bite.

How to Enjoy Sandesh

If you’re new to Sandesh, try starting with a plain or jaggery variety to get a taste of its authentic flavors. Pair it with a cup of tea or coffee for a classic experience, or try it with a glass of lassi or sweetened yogurt for a refreshing combination.

For those with a culinary interest, making Sandesh at home can be a rewarding experience, as it allows you to experiment with flavors, fillings, and garnishes. Whether you choose a simple plain version or a more complex flavored one, you’ll experience the joy of crafting a Bengali sweet that’s been cherished for centuries.

The Lasting Charm of Sandesh

With its rich history, versatile flavors, and delicate sweetness, Sandesh is more than just a dessert; it’s a cultural icon that continues to hold a special place in Bengali hearts. Each bite offers a blend of tradition, art, and the distinct taste of Bengal’s culinary heritage.

So, the next time you come across this delightful sweet, remember that Sandesh is not just a treat but a testament to the rich history and love of sweets that Bengali culture celebrates.

Book Review - The Miraculous Sweetmakers: The Frost Fair by Natasha Hastings

⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3 out of 5. I’ve finally finished another book. Given my current slump, this really is something to celebrate. This has been on my December TBR since November, so I really wanted to get it finished. I knew that would be difficult to do in my current state so I just bought the audiobook. I find audiobooks really help out when I’m in reading slump. It’s so much easier to listen to…

@galactia​ found their way to the shoppe:

Travel was something Zhongli did not with terrible frequency, but with certain pleasure. The City of Freedom was not a strange place to him, but as of yet, he had never visited a certain sweets shop outside of Mond he had heard tell of while browsing. The door chimed as he entered, and the scents that rushed toward him were warm and delectable. "Hello." The Consultant greeted the woman there with a cordial tilt of his head, and an equally pleasant manner reflected in his amber eyes. "I am a visitor to Mondstadt, and wondered if I might have the recommendations of the confectioner regarding your finest sweets."

There was something to be said about ‘building a reputation.’ Friends and certain circles amidst her many travels had come to know Honey’s talents in time, treats shared with study groups and local hosts who’d shown her generosity in kind; but to finally have the right opportunity, means, and location to set up shop had helped the sweetmaker achieve a different level of ‘status,’ entirely— echoed acclaim and word-of-mouth advertising seeing recognition from further reaches than she’d have ever imagined prior.

Tall-dark-and-proper over here was a prime example of that fact: a man of elegance, dignified, with an even keel to his voice which foretells prudence and politeness beyond the everyman which usually found their way through her door. More than enough to see the ornately-clad proprieter straightening her stance, brightened with renewed attention.  ❝ Welcome, welcome! To the windy valley and my little slice of it, alike– I hope it was a nice journey getting here? And not too long, at that. ❞ She extends some well wishes in her welcome, and a seed of conversation should he choose to nurture it, but quickly closes in on his request– excitedly bringing her hands together over her breast as she went on.

❝ ‘The confectioner,’ biased as she is, would tell you that everything she’s put out is the ‘finest’ around— but I can manage to narrow it down a little, at least, for mercy’s sake. Since you’ve come all this way: were you looking for some of the ‘local’ flavors, old Mondstadt classics and such, or, like, something more exciting? Specialites from ｡:+* parts untold *+:｡? ❞

[dcviated]

@mielmoto​ sent: She's lifting her arms a bit funnily while looking at the other woman, squinting here-and-there, silently pantomiming some lifts and other gestures. ❝ ...is it, like, a magic thing? because, like, I'm looking at you and I cannot figure out how you're so strong.  ❞ Ellie was, after all, more lithe than the little round-edged sweetmaker– visibly 'fit,' to be sure, but it didn't quite account for the mma-smackdown-style feats she seemed to easily pull off from time-to-time. ❝ do you work out? you must work out. ❞

This happens while Ellie is otherwise occupied. Putting various bottles back into place on their proper shelves after mixing together a set of potions. There’s a brief frown at the remaining stock of some mushrooms... she’ll probably need to gather more soon! It’s when she’s pulling out her sizable tome to note down the task that she takes notice of the other witch, and they share their thoughts.

“Wait, you saw that?! Ohhh!! Haha... ha.... it was pretty cool, wasn’t it? I was like...” The witch mimics the powerful submission herself, imagining the small troublesome man who had been harassing her in her grasp once again, swinging them around and putting them into the ground. “Bwah! Pow! Haha! Ehh... well, I can’t say I work out but I can’t say it’s really magic.. umm... at least not a normal spell...” 

How to tell your friend that you’re revived through the power of entities from another plane of existence and while you can’t control them your body has had some improvements as a result? Or maybe she was just lucky. Wait!!

“Ahh... you know, it’s not like he was very heavy! Do you think I should work out, though? I think more moves like that would be really good for a witch the more I think about it! Hey! Lemme carry you!” And so Honey is quickly subjected to the whims of her fellow witch. Where do they go? Gods, that’s a whim all its own-
