Weldon Owen has acquired Pooja Bavishi’s Malai: Frozen Desserts with South Asian Flavors, a groundbreaking cookbook featuring 90 unique recipes such as Besan Burfi Ice Cream Pie, Nimbu Pani Frozen Lemonade, Ghughra Sticky Buns, and Chai Molasses Cookies. The cookbook’s title — a north Indian word that loosely translates to “cream of the crop” — is also the name of Bavashi’s Brooklyn-based artisanal ice cream company, which she launched in 2015 to celebrate the culture and traditions that she grew up with. In the same spirit of her now-beloved company, her forthcoming cookbook will showcase the first-generation experience and the richness and versatility of Indian spices, suffused in everything from ice creams, non-dairy treats, frozen desserts, baked goods, and toppings.
