Whisk & Pine

""Some recipes don't begin in kitchens. They begin with courage." After decades spent behind a bank desk, Meer walks away from balance sheets and board meetings in pursuit of something simpler-a life in the hills, a bakehouse called Landour Loaves, and maybe, a bit of peace. There's just one problem: he's never baked before. Nestled near Chaar Dukan and framed by the charm of St. Paul's and Kellogg churches, Landour Loaves rises-awkwardly at first-with burnt banana bread, confused tourists, and a grumbling sourdough starter. But with the help of wisecracking Auntie Renu, loyal helper Ramakant, and a retired Colonel with a fondness for pancakes, Meer discovers that what he's building isn't just a bakery-it's a new beginning. From soggy monsoons to magical snowfalls and a heartwarming Christmas in Landour, this is a story of second innings, small-town chaos, and buttery redemption. Witty, cozy, and full of soul, Landour Loaves is a celebration of cinnamon mornings, community spirit, and the courage to rise-one loaf at a time. Heartwarming, humorous, and steeped in cinnamon, Landour Loaves is a celebration of second innings, small joys, and the magic of starting over."
