For 24 years, Mohamed Yousuf Khan punctuated French classes with chocolate cake and lemon tea. From a little kitchen at Chennai’s Alliance Française, blanketed in the scent of vanilla, he whipped together light, fluffy cakes the old fashioned way: with butter, flour and muscle power. When the pandemic hit in March 2020, and business abruptly stalled, he found himself at home for the first time in decades, with nothing to do.

His number circulated on Whatsapp, and the orders began again. This time, he is baking from home in Royapettah.
