WHAT DO SARDINES HAVE TO DO WITH CAKE?

Absolutely nothing.

Just like a small-town boy from Moradabad had no business building one of India's most loved bakeries in Goa.

Sardines on Cake is the story of Anant's unlikely journey from a restless childhood in Uttar Pradesh to call centres in Delhi, from baking his first banana cake in a tiny home kitchen to building Mystical Bundle and, later, Babka Goa.

During his early years in Delhi, Anant moved between jobs, houses, and neighbourhoods, never finding the satisfaction he sought.

Told with warmth and unflinching honesty, this memoir is about taking chances, following hunches, finding home in unexpected places, and discovering that life's best stories often begin with combinations that make absolutely no sense.

Like Sardines on Cake.
