  • Indian family food with heart

    My Ammu, mother, is the centre of our family. This book is a tribute to the simple home-cooking from her kitchen in Calcutta.

    These dishes will bring warmth to your kitchen when you need a quick meal or dish to share with your family and friends.

    This is the food I cook for my family every day, meals to comfort, restore and nourish.

    I give these recipes to you, with love.
