Buckwheat pancakes are a must for Katrina KaifKatrina Kaif's favourites are buckwheat hot chocolate pancakes. Made of buckwheat flour, Belgian cocoa, whey protein, eggs and cinnamon, these pancakes make the actress' Sundays perfect, says celebrity chef Juhi Pahwa. "Katrina is really humble and easy to please. She’s got the simplest demands and no airs around her. I’m a big Katrina fan girl myself but she’s just like the girl next door. She is really unassuming and her Sunday binges are incomplete without buckwheat hot chocolate pancakes."
Ananya and Bhavna Pandey love paleo muffinsThis gorgeous mother-daughter duo Ananya and Bhavna Pandey love healthy food and Juhi's treats. "While Ananya enjoys my jowar nutty cake or paleo muffins made with dark chocolate, coconut flour and zero sugar, her mom enjoys my classic dark chocolate cupcakes," she says.
Patralekha and Rajkumar Rao don't like chocolate cakesActress Patralekha usually orders for all special occasions."She is the sweetest person ever. I had baked for Rajkumar’s birthday and he called up the next day to thank me for the cake. I know for a fact that both of them don’t like chocolate cakes. Their choices are mostly berry yogurt cakes or butterscotch praline cakes.
Jacqueline Fernandes chooses mostly chocolateFor someone who has been into fitness for such a long time, its a little surprising to know that Jacqueline Fernandes sure has a big love for chocolates. "Her favourite evidently is my jowar nutty chocolate cake with a molten chocolate centre. On some days she also relishes a peanut butter and dark chocolate cupcake."
Esha Deol relishes vegan food"I know Esha is vegan and most of her choices are vegan. She’s someone who gives me complete freedom to choose designs and looks for cakes... but the flavour is always chocolate inside."
