This is a recipe book with a difference! This cookbook is a collaborative project between the author and her children so it has a special, personal touch.

These recipes cannot be found in any ordinary Indian restaurant anywhere in the world and once you and your friends try them, you'll know why these recipes are different and will want to come back for more!
