Cooking without fire

The Women’s Day Special events are most awaited celebrations across corporates in India. These are women centric celebrations arranged by HR department pre and post of the International Women’s Day which is celebrated on 8th February of every year. The events are arranged for 3-4 days. Some corporates make it a week-long celebration by announcing some theme for each day.

The celebration includes Talk by Celebrities, Shopping Melas, In-house Food Melas, Contests, etc. The HR department ensures that there is a maximum participation from women for these events. Sometimes men are also invited in these celebrations 🙂

This year in my office, an interesting event was organised which involved Cooking Without Fire. Employees were informed to form team of three with atleast one male colleague. There were lot of participants from various departments. I too participated with my colleagues, Anjali Mehta and Neeket Agarwal.

It was interesting to participate, watch and capture moments of males collaborating with female colleagues in making various dishes such as cheese sandwiches, fruit/vegetables salads, various chaats, sweet ladoos, fruit juices and smoothies. The event was a great success.

Here are some mouth-watering dishes captured by me during the event. There were some recipes with recipe name. And some were kept without the recipe names, may be for judges to guess 🙂 Well, I have don’t have recipes of these dishes apart from one we prepared. These photos are just for visual treat 🙂 So enjoy the pics and guess the ingredients 🙂
