Growing up in India in a lacto-vegetarian household, we never used eggs in our cooking. Store-bought cakes and desserts containing eggs were allowed, but bringing eggs home was a strict no. When I moved to North America after marriage, I was captivated by the world of baking through Food TV shows. The idea of creating baked treats at home intrigued me, but my upbringing left me hesitant about using eggs.

I started from scratch, with no background in baking. Armed with the Baking for Dummies book and a basic baking set from Walmart, I began teaching myself the fundamentals. My initial attempt at baking a chocolate chip cookie with eggs was a disaster—both due to technique and my aversion to eggs. That’s when I turned to the internet in 2007, searching for eggless recipes, at a time when vegan and eggless baking were not as mainstream as they are today.

I found inspiration in an eggless banana-carrot cake recipe from a fellow Indian blogger, and its success gave me the courage to explore further. As I discovered a community of food bloggers, I realized there was a growing demand for egg-free baking recipes, particularly from those with dietary restrictions, allergies, or personal preferences. This inspired me to create a one-stop destination for eggless baking: Madhuram’s Eggless Cooking, launched on March 15, 2008.

From a Hobby to a Community

My initial goal was to curate eggless recipes from across the web, but as I honed my own baking skills through trial and error, I began developing original recipes. One of my proudest moments was baking an eggless chocolate cake with silken tofu as an egg substitute for my son's third birthday in 2008. That success fueled my passion for experimenting with egg substitutes like yogurt, silken tofu, flaxseed, aquafaba and more.

Over the years, I have perfected the eggless version of classic recipes and created the best eggless pancakes, eggless vanilla cake, eggless chocolate chip cookies, eggless blueberry muffins, eggless omelette, and eggless mayonnaise to mention a few. Many of these recipes have been featured in various media outlets, including Fox TV. I also take pride in creating signature desserts like the eggless rasmalai cake, eggless red velvet cake, and pumpkin kulfi.

Experience and Expertise You Can Trust

I have spent over a decade testing and perfecting recipes, ensuring that every recipe I post is thoroughly tried, tested, and refined. Not all of my baking experiments were successful—many attempts ended in failure—but I believe in transparency and only share recipes that meet my high standards.

To support bakers of all experience levels, my recipes include detailed sections on Ingredients and Substitutes, Taste and Texture, and My Notes, so readers can easily follow along without feeling intimidated. I know what it’s like to be a beginner, and my goal is to make eggless baking accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

In addition to eggless baking, I also blog about vegetarian recipes that are our family favorites, simple and healthy. Food is my love language, and I want to spread that joy to as many kitchens as possible.

Looking Ahead

After 16 years of blogging, my passion for creating eggless recipes remains strong. With my boys now 19 and 14, I have more time to explore new projects and ideas. I am excited to expand my blog, share more recipes, and continue connecting with my wonderful community of readers.

Alongside my love for food, I am also in the process of becoming a Certified Lactation Educator. Having breastfed both of my children, I am passionate about supporting new and expectant mothers through personal experience and evidence-based information. I have another blog, NursingMoms.net, dedicated to this cause.

I’m incredibly blessed to have found my purpose—cooking and nurturing—and to have a supportive husband who has been the backbone of this blog from day one and any other avenue that I want to explore.

Thank you for visiting Madhuram’s Eggless Cooking. Whether you are a seasoned baker or just starting out, I hope my recipes bring joy to your kitchen.
