I’m Madhuram living in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA with my husband and my son who is two and a half years old. Although my mother tongue is Telugu, we are convenient with Tamil because we were born and raised in Tamil Nadu. The language we speak is a mixture of both.
I’ve always had interest in cooking. Back in India I used to follow all the cooking shows regardless of language, eagerly look for recipes in magazines be it veg or non veg. Being vegetarian, I used to think maybe I can use cauliflowers/potatoes in a non-veg recipe. But the truth is I didn’t cook as much as I watched the shows. Occasionally I used to try some interesting recipe or cook when my grandmother or mother was not feeling well which was very rare.
AFTER MARRIAGE:
Like many others who come to US from India after their marriage I also packed as much as I can, which included a LOT of books on cooking. But again I did’nt get a chance to experiment all those recipes because my husband was a VERY VERY VERY DIET/HEALTH CONSCIOUS person. He did’nt want anything fried in oil, nothing spicy or salty, nothing very sweet. God that was a tough period to learn a different kind of cooking altogether! So again I was just reading recipes, now from websites. That was the only difference. We did’nt have cable tv connection then, so was not able to watch FOOD TV.
MY NEW LOVE:
We had to move to Canada for a couple of months. There I started watching Food TV regularly, or to tell the truth, I was watching only Food TV. I was so thrilled to see the hosts baking cookies and cakes, breads and muffins. I just fell in love with baking. Until then I did not know what to do with the oven, I was just using it like another kitchen shelf, storing my oversize cooker, dosa pans etc.
MY EXPERIMENT WITH BAKING:
One day my husband and I were watching an episode in Food TV. Yes my husband also, even though he doesn’t eat much, he likes to watch Food TV. In that episode, the host was preparing potato puffs with puff pastry sheets. My husband told me that I should also try that, and to my surprise he also said that he will go to the store immediately and get the puff pastry and baking sheet and meanwhile I can prepare the potato stuffing. So I prepared the masala and switched on the oven to preheat it. My God, that was a big process because I had kept so many boxes etc in my oven, remember I was using it as a storage only. I had to remove all of them, find a place for it. (Now that I’m using the oven more often, not for baking per se but for preparing the store bought frozen French fries and making pizzas, my mother in law has converted the dishwasher into a storage area, seeing me moving things out each time I want to use the oven) My husband got the cookie sheets made in aluminum foil and the puffs came out very well. Hey I can hear what you guys are telling, this is not baking, it’s just using the oven. Yes I agree, but that was by itself a big deal for me.
Sometime later I bought a baking set because it was on sale. It was just lying idle. I did’nt know from where to start. Because I’ve seen in the Food TV shows, that they were using the big hand mixers etc. I didn’t want to invest in them without having a clue how to use them. So I used to google to see if there were any classes for baking nearby. But found none. Earlier I had bought the Magic Bullet blender and one day I was going through the recipe book given with that. There were some recipes for muffins. The process of preparing the batter was so simple, just put flour, oil etc in the blender’s big jar and pour it in the muffin pan. I wanted to try it, but I had to use eggs. As mentioned earlier being a vegetarian I was hesitant to bring eggs home. (But the secret was I started eating eggs after coming to US, I love Dunkin Donuts’ egg and cheese sandwich very much. Sshhh….. don’t tell my mother.) Then somehow I mustered some courage to buy eggs and try the recipe. I simply followed the instructions and it came out well, but both my husband and myself could’nt tolerate the smell of egg in the muffins. I don’t know whether it was psychological or something, we did’nt feel like eating it at all. We do enjoy the pastries bought from the store, we are conscious of the fact that they are made with eggs only, but the idea of brining it home and baking with them made us uncomfortable. The same happened when I tried chocolate chip cookies also. So I did’nt bake anything later. But I did want to learn to bake and got a book “BAKING FOR DUMMIES”. I did see some eggless recipes in that book for cookies, but I don’t know why I didn’t try them. With a newborn and related pressure I forgot all about this.
BACK TO USA:
We moved back to US again. Once I was googling to find out how to break the jaggery mounds we get in the Indian store. That time I found a link to Indira’s site. I was really dumbfounded after visiting that site. It was EXCELLENT. There I found a recipe for an eggless cake made with bananas and carrots. I tried it the next day itself and it came out very well. I have tried that cake with so many variations and each time it’s a hit. This rekindled my passion for baking.
MY INSPIRATION:
From Indira’s site I visited lot of other fabulous blogs. Until then I had no idea what blogs were and was not aware of the fact that there were so many other passionate cooks out there. Shilpa’s www.aayisrecipes.com, sunitha’s blog and so many other food blogs inspired me so much that I also wanted to become a part of this delicious world.
So that’s how egglesscooking.com was born.
April 9th, 2008 at 7:35 am
Did anyone tell you how inspiring you are?? I am Harini blogging as sunshinemom and just loved your eggless bakes! I have quit eggs for sometime now(The family hasn’t) but I love cakes esp. homemade. Linked you to me so selfishly – just so I could keep trying your cakes.
Cheers!
April 9th, 2008 at 8:03 am
Thank you very much Harini. That’s such a lovely compliment, I’m flattered. Actually I was inspired by so many other food bloggers, that I started one of my own. Happy Eggless Baking!
April 16th, 2008 at 7:56 am
Very enjoyable read! Love to see how you morphed from a foodie at heart to one that actually tries things out. Your blog is a treasure!

April 21st, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Hi Madhuram,
Came to you from ifood.tv.
Your site is interesting. I have friend whose 4 yr daughter is terribly allergic to eggs, nuts & besan. Every year for her birthday, her mom has a tough time baking a nice cake. You can’t explain to a 4 yr old that the yummy looking cake in the grocery store is not for her
I will definitely let my friend know abt your site. Looks like you have a variety of recipes for cakes, etc. Very good site.
Anjali
April 21st, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Thanks very much Anusharaji. It’s such a lovely comment and means so much to me.
Thanks for stopping by Anjali. Sorry about your friend’s daughter. I can understand how difficult it is for both of them. Please ask your friend to drop by and try the recipes. I will be updating the “eggless baking recipes” page regularly. Most of the recipes are from various other blogs and the bloggers have done a wonderful job of recording step by step pictures also.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:19 pm
Hi Madhuram, That was an interesting series of events that led to the creation of your blog. Eggless cooking….hmmm…thats really interesting…and with so many breads and buns on your recipe list, I am looking forward to visiting here often.

Many of the members are Indians. I’m sure they’ll love your site.
I’ll try out some of your recipes too.

Hi Florence, welcome to my blog. Thanks for forwarding my blog. Do try the recipes and let me know how it turns out.
August 7th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Hey Madhuram..,
Very nice and simple description about how you started the blog. Yes, I too get inspired by Indira’s blog but unlike you I havn’t started a blog. Good Luck on this great effort!
September 1st, 2008 at 2:36 pm
I was happy when I came across your eggless baking site. My 15 month old son has an egg and peanut allergy so I am always trying to find good recipes for things for him to enjoy. We no longer have eggs in our home so it is nice to find different egg substitutes. I have tried using banana, which works really well in pancakes, but not very well in cookies. I will try the flaxseed and water one the next time I am baking. Thanks for the great ideas and recipes.
You’re welcome Terry. I’m really glad that my site will be of some help to you. Silken tofu also is an excellent egg substitute. I recently tried it in my chocolate cake for my son’s birthday and it was a hit. You can check it out here http://www.egglesscooking.com/2008/08/25/eggless-chocolate-cake/
October 10th, 2008 at 12:07 am

hi madhu its very intrsting to go thro yr exp in USA. But very soon u ve developed yr blog like anything. Yr stuffs are delish and inviting. kalakaringa ponga. hats off.
Thank you very much Hemamalini. Got inspired by so many blogs out there.
October 18th, 2008 at 1:47 am
Dear Madhu,
It is so lovely to read about you and get to know you better. Your baking journey is heartwarming and humorous at the same time, and clangs a loud bell with people like me, who share a similar attitude to eggs and baking:)
The only difference is, unlike you, I have’nt yet taken the initiative to try baking, as I am a bit paranoid about my son ( who has a tremendous sweet tooth) becoming a sugar addict.So, although we do enjoy sweet treats from time to time, I make sure that the real good stuff is not terribly accesible to us all;)
Your blog is truly path breaking and inspiring, best wishes to you, your family and the blog. Rock On !
December 16th, 2008 at 8:00 am
I’m so happy i found your site!
Lovet to read and find out some more reciepes for my vegan way of life. Keep up that work so i can drop by time by time

January 5th, 2009 at 2:52 am
Madhuram, hi…this is in reply to your mw cake..I have made one frm net (not blog) which turned hard..this cake stays super moist even next day..I used not 200gm condensed milk but 160 gm evaporated milk +40 gm fine white sugar, I did not need coke/juice to damp it. If you are trying it do try it this way..skip the frosting first time if you want, it tastes real good n wd recommend u to go for it, as it takes very little time!
Also would like to add here that your blog is truly going great with vegan/eggless/chock full of health recipes! KEEP IT UP…great for blogging readers like me! 
HUGS.
Purnima thank you very much for the detailed information. I’ll try it one of these days. Thank you for your kind words about my blog also.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:55 am
Madhuram, Thats a wonderful and sweet post! Great knowing about you. You may not know but I don’t eat egg and every time I bake, I used to feel left out…then I started making only my eggless black forest cake. anyway now I dont’ have much time for baking..but have bookmarked your entire blog to try when I start back..everything looks so yummy!..Kudos to your hubby too for encouraging you so much!
Thank you very much Srivalli. Yes my hubby definitely encourages me a lot and spends a lot of time improvising it too. I’m technically challenged, so without him it’s not possible at all.
January 13th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Hi Just came across your site from some other blog, I read a few of the recipes and then your about page. I am very impressed with your recipes, the amount of research you have done and the wonderful new recipes I am now eager to try out.
I too look to Sunita’s site for inspiration sometimes.
We inspire people in many different ways and your energy for the recipes and willingness to experiment with new ingredients is just wonderful. Keep up the good work
Hi Kiran, welcome to my blog. Thank you very much for your kind words of appreciation.
January 18th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Hi Madhuram,
Your website has inspired us to continue our cooking in vegetarian foods! Initially, living in Canada made it incredibly hard for us vegetarians especially when it came ot the sensitive topic of eggs. In my elementary school years, I would avoid all kinds of cake, cookies, biscuits and other delectable food just because of the eggs.
As I grew up, I also started to experiment with baking cake adn other pastries without eggs. Although some were an absolutely disaster, I realized that it takes time to perfect anything. After seeing your website, my sister and i are absolutely inspired to cook even more! And your pictures, they look absolutely beautiful! Keep it up!
Vijaya
Vijaya, thank you very much for taking the time to leave your comment here. Also thank you for your kind words of appreciation. The credit for the beautiful pictures goes to my husband. Happy egg free baking!
January 22nd, 2009 at 10:27 pm
I am a huge fan of yours…! I too came to US after getting married. I too got interested in baking all coz of food network
Thanks to your site, i’m doing pretty good in eggless baking!
Your blog has become my frist reference everyday when i think of a new dish….
Thanks a lot for posting such beautiful recipes…
Awww! I’m blushing here! I’m reading this first thing in the morning. What else a girl needs to hear to make her day? Thank you so much Aparna. Happy eggless baking!
January 25th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
Oh thank you sooooo very much for what you are doing here! I have been desperately trying to find good recipes for baking egg free. My son is allergic to eggs and we loved baked goods…he especially loves them. I have mastered the cupcake pretty well…but have failed most other attempts at baking egg-free. I tried your corn muffin recipe this evening for him to go with our chili and it was FANTASTIC!!
Thank you again, such a life saver…keep up the good work!!
Leah, thank you very much fo taking the time to leave your comment here. I’m very glad that your son was able to have some corn muffins today. You should try these egg free chocolate chip cookies also. It’s unbelievably good. I’m sure he would love it. Happy egg free baking.

Hi Madhuram,
Me and my husband are also strict vegetarians so when i came to US i started experimenting cakes and cookies without eggs. It was a lot of fun .Looks like we have a lot of things in common.Also i am a cake decorating teacher in US so if you have any questions about the cake classes please feel free to ask.
Thanks

i have tried to make another blog which u suggested….egglesscakesnchocolates.wordpress.com….but i cant understand how to operate it properly…..
March 3rd, 2009 at 1:20 am
U know what? U girls from India now living abroad r a fantastic bunch. U seem so dedicated about putting good food on the table for your spouses/kids. And you don’t neglect your religious obligations too. Wow. Very inspiring. (I wonder though: Do you ever get tired?) Its a big world out there in cyberspace and I feel like Alice in Wonderland going from one link to another! Keep up the great work. I got inspired to do better veg food after I picked up two great books written by the lovely Viji Varadarajan, a Tamil Brahmin lady from Chennai. I also made contact with her to clear any doubts. Thanks to her I now cook fairly decent dishes for my husband, who is vegetarian. She now has a website as well which you may want to visit. I’m a housewife living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Thanks.
Lakshmi, thank you very much for your detailed comment. I have to agree that I do get tired and bored sometimes, but again comments like these motivate to get back to work. I’ll check out the author’s website you have mentioned.
March 14th, 2009 at 7:15 am
Hey Madhuram,
Firstly Congrats on your website!! As one of our class mate mentions and now knowing that you remember there were 2 Anita’s in our class, I’m the other who studied in the A section. I live in New Jersey and what a coincidence, I love to watch food network!!!
I work full time and I love baking as well. The shows inspired me to bake! So it’s thrilling that we share the same interests.
I’ve added you in Orkut and more in that!!! I’m currently in Chennai but will be back soon. So we could be in touch over phone!!!
Great work.
Best wishes
Anita Asokan
Thank you so much Anita. I did see your profile in Orkut but was wondering if you would remember me. That’s bad I didn’t know you live in NJ, I’ve been a couple of times there. Now we are moving. (More about it later).
March 18th, 2009 at 12:10 am
thx a lot dear for both inspiration and support from your side….
March 31st, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Congratulations on your website. That was an amazing write up. I love watching food network just like you. It sounds little weird but we have quite a few similarities. I learnt how to bake (did I tell you that I was using the oven to store everything?)for the first time after coming to US and my first dish was curry puffs
Keep up the good work and do keep in touch.
That’s really something Sowjanya. Thanks.
April 17th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
Madhuram ….great blog and such creative recipes. I, too, am from suburbs of Philly …do you have any recipes with just yellow cornmeal and soya flour ? It would be much appreciated
)))) MeenaV
Thank you very much Meena. I usually add soy flour to whole wheat flour while preparing chapathis. But other than that I have not tried any other recipe. Will definitely keep this request in mind when I get it the next time. As for cornmeal, you could either try the vegan cornmeal muffin or the dumplings (kozhukattai).
April 25th, 2009 at 9:58 am
Hi Madhu,
Nice to see your blog and you’re creative too to keep doing something interesting. Wish you all the best..
Thank you Sir.
April 26th, 2009 at 7:44 am
Madhuram….I feel like I’ve just struck gold! Thank you for sharing your incredible recipes with us!! For years I have been searching for healthy and delicious eggless recipes. You should put these recipes into a cookbook and sell it. I would buy it immediately! Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes with us!
Thank you very much for your generous compliments.
April 28th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Thank you so much for your website!!! I have a 5 year old that was diagnosed with a nut and egg allergy at a year old. He starts school next year and will have to take his lunch with him. I have started to look for recipes to give him variety and help expand his taste buds. It is so hard to find eggless recipes now. Plus he loves cakes and cookies but our choices are limited since I didn’t know what to use as a substitute. So thank you so much!!!
You are very welcome Wendy. Please feel free to ask me any specific questions about egg substitution and the recipes.
May 10th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
hi madhuram, it was so interesting to read your world of cooking…, I just moved to UK 2 1/2 years back like you i used to always watch mostly food channels in all languages possible now here i watch some food programs but most of them are non-veg like you i think of substituting veggies, but sometimes i get bored because i love spicy food !!, just now i have started baking…., like you i was storing my pans & kadais, but used to cook french fries and of course when i saw the pastry case just like ur hubby i thought of stuffing it with allo masala & vegetable masala i restricted to only that much…., ok keep ur good work…, let me go into your blogging world and see what all wonderful dishes you have in store and i am going to book mark and try them too…, first thing is i want to bake something without the eggs and post it in my blog and send you a note, about checking on me of how i have done.
Hi Jayasri, that’s really interesting to know that we did a lot of similar stuff.
May 10th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
will u be moving back to US again!! please tell me u will. The first day I saw your bolg was the day u wrote abt moving to canada and the same day I discovered with joy and disappointment that u live in phila. and are now moving away. If u ever move back and to phila, I really want to meet you to say thankyou for giving me a head start into eggless baking.
Thanks a lot Sushma. I don’t think we will be moving back anytime soon.
May 12th, 2009 at 5:41 am
I am so delighted that u wrote back to me…, first of all i have a doubt, if we have to bake something without using egg what is the proportion i have to substitute if i bake something…, can u please give me some details about how to bake not using eggs pleaseeeeee..,
Jayasri check out this.
June 3rd, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Hi Madhuram,
You are Awesome. I just love your recipes. I feel like I have to try all but being mother of two and work I am able to try only few recipes but I visit your website everyday!
Very neatly done and well maintained. I am so impressed.
BTW, I am just like you, mother tongue is telugu but studied in tamilnadu
Thanks for your wonderful website!
LR
Thank you very much for your generous compliments LR.
June 21st, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Madhuram just read about you.. SAME PINCH even my oven was used for storage as my kitchen was too small and i was zero at baking.. now i have started baking and its so much fun ! you rock ! i love your recipes and your innovations in cooking !
Thank you very much Pooja.
June 30th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Just clicked here to read your about after leaving a comment on your vadais…my family is also Telegu as we’re originally but Andra but all settled in Tamil Nadu now. So we also speak that mixed version of Tamil and Teluegu!
That’s really nice to know Nithya.
July 1st, 2009 at 10:55 pm
I’m a college student in California. I love cooking, but only recently became interested in baking. My family is from Karnataka, and my dad is a strict vegetarian (no eggs!). I’ve been searching for and experimenting with vegan dessert cupcakes/quick-bread recipes so I can bake him something delicious that he can actually consume and enjoy! This is an AMAZING website –I only discovered it today (when trying to understand why vinegar is used in vegan quick breads) and I’ve been on several times since. (Also, very exciting and inspiring to learn you are a south Indian woman!)
a thousand thumbs up.
Thank you very much Parijata.
July 12th, 2009 at 4:32 am
hi maduram,
i hope you wont mind if i list your website on my blog and as well, link back to your recipes. cheers, yamini
i happened to come across your blog when i was googling for eggless recipes. i am a vegetarian who does not take eggs. i recently discovered a love for baking, and am now exploring ways of making baked goodies without eggs for my vegetarian friends
Sure Yamini. Happy Baking.
July 13th, 2009 at 12:41 am
Yay! My vegan-wannabe housemate is gonna loooove this! hehehe… (I’m vegan, just not much of a cook, so I love when she just starts using all the recipes I bring home.)
July 24th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Hi Madhu,
Excellent website. I am glad I found your website. Like the way you were insipired by Indira’s site…I am inspired by yours. I am curious to start up a website on cooking as well..though I am no where near it
. I am collecting recipes..and hoping to start one soon…thanks for the wonderful recipes.
Gayathri
Thank you very much Gayathri. I’m thrilled to know that you are inspired by my blog. Do get in touch with me if you have any questions regarding starting a blog.
August 4th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Hi Madhuram,
you have a very nice site. I am a vegetarian as well and very rarely eat eggs. You have some nice recipes for eggless baking. I recently started my own food blog. I blogrolled you if that is fine. Keep up the good work!!
August 15th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Hi Madhu,
I really loved your recepies and I’mlooking forward to try one. I was going through the cake recipies but I could’nt understand
what is silken tofu. Can you tell me please? Thanks……you rock!!
Thank you very much Priyanka. Silken tofu is a type of tofu, the others being soft tofu, extra firm and firm. You can get it in regular American grocery stores and Oriental stores. Just get it and put it in the blender and blend it and use 1/4 cup of the puree for each egg to be replaced.
August 26th, 2009 at 10:30 am
Hey Madhuram
You have a wonderful website – a goldmine !!! Hats off to you [:)] I wish i had come across it earlier. My background is very very similar to yours… a south indian [tamilian from madras] – eating habits, lifestyle, love for cooking and baking, husband’s food preferences etc [:)] i am yet to try your recipes… but am very confident that they will come out well. keep up your good work.
good luck
Swapna
That’s so nice of you Swapna. Thanks and keep visiting.

Hi Madhu, I am very much inspired about your blog. Hats off to you I added you site to my inspiration blog list. Keep going…
Thanks Sarmila.
September 5th, 2009 at 11:05 am
Hello Madhuram!
For the very first time I have finally found a site that has eggless recipes… I have been googling for a year now and never came across your site…but I’m so happy I did now. Just today I found the recipe of blueberry muffins here and I also tried it…I have never been so excited in my whole life about baking as I did when I saw my muffins…Your recipe is really very good…My husband was amazed at the sight of it….Thank you so much and please keep adding new and amazing recipes
always.
Lots of love
Tejaswini.
Thank you very much Tejaswini. I’m so glad that the muffins turned out very well. Great job! All the recipes from Joy of Vegan Baking (at least the ones I have tried) have never failed me. Give that book a try to become a confident (eggless) baker.

Hi Madhuram,
I’m just a beginner in this blogging world. I like your site. Nice collection. I tried cupcake brownies from your site…came out good, marked few more rec. to try.It’s been almost 4 yrs. that i stopped baking with eggs.Since then i mainly use fruit sauce,milk,condensed milk & buttermilk in the receipes.Sometimes it can be tough but i guess it take little patience & practice to get that good taste without eggs…..and yes it’s worth.
Welcome to my blog and thank you very much for trying the cupcake brownie recipe. All the best for the new venture.

Hi Madhuram,
We tried your Eggless chocolate cake and it turned out to be one of the best chocolate cake we have ever had. And the best part was it contained no eggs. Just Spongy & moist chocolate cake, Delicious !!! We Must congratulate you for such a nice and informative website. Thank you so much.
You’re most welcome Nishith and Shivani and thank you very much for the feedback.
