Well, the author and her family are adorable. The family stories are totally charming. And the food looks yummy. But it’s fairly high in dairy and there are enough ingredients I need from Amazon…so this is another book for that magical time of life when I don’t have picky toddlers to feed…

I've made enough recipes from this cookbook to know I love it, but reading it cover to cover and getting more of a feel for the techniques that are consistent is so valuable. And even more enjoyable, getting a feel for the love and joy shared among the Krishna family.

This is such a great cookbook! I love the premise: an ode to Krishna's mother, and to the types of Indian food that an Indian American family would make, with practical substitutions based on available ingredients and relatively quick, easy recipes for a working family. So far all of the recipes I have tried have been delicious: basic dal, sag "paneer" with feta cheese, aloo gobhi, and roasted cauliflower with green pea chutney. Most of the recipes are vegetarian, and a great way to clear out the vegetables in your fridge.

This was a fun cookbook, I loved the little stories and the comic illustrations. I loved the recipes, especially the easy-to-follow charts, though my recipes I think I will use the most were the (numerous) non-Indian inspired ones. The Indian inspired ones were fun as well. 3/5 stars

Great cookbook. I liked the Indian inflection on the recipes.
