Getting kids to eat healthy is one of the top challenges for most parents! I started writing Superfoods for Superheroes when my son was just four years old and I was desperately trying to convince him to eat his vegetables! I think my efforts paid off as he’s a real foodie now and will eat most foods without a fuss! The key is to not give up…persistence, repeated exposure, and yes some creative story telling can help! Books like mine allow for intentional dialog around food and nutrition between children and their care-givers. Why is this good for me? What am I eating and how does it benefit my body? Will it make me stronger? How can I eat better to boost my immune system? My book is filled with fun stories and recipes, superfood facts and of course gorgeous illustrations by ❤️ It is published by and available everywhere online and at Talk to your kids about eating well and mindfully from a young age….And now I’m dealing with an even fussier aka super mega food fussy four year old — off to flex my persuasive storytelling skills!

It started with writing recipes when I was a foodie kid…I loved watching my grandma and Ma cooking, and I always did a ton of writing. I was a big bookworm and read tons … I even read recipe books for fun. When I was 20 and leaving for grad school, I really filled up that recipe journal with family recipes. And of course, like every good Indian child going abroad, my suitcase had a Spicebox aka masala dabba in it! Fast forward 20 years and I’m writing cookbooks, food stories and creating characters that represent my diverse culture. And yes, I took on many creative roles before I became “a writer” and I learned a ton about building brands, marketing, and telling stories that connect with people at the heart. It’s been a journey and I’m grateful I found my forever career!

I’ve had the pleasure of reading my latest picture book ANNI DREAMS OF BIRYANI illustrated by to thousands of children in the past month! Yes thousands! I zoomed into 1800 elementary school children at the last week (that’s the funny second image which is a screenshot from a parent friend from her kids class!) Earlier this month I celebrated by reading to children in Cambodia, Myanmar, Japan & Jeddah! And this week, Anni and I are at school teaching the children about the history of Biryani, smelling spices, and sharing our dreams plus lots more inspiring and delicious things! What a wonderful honor to be sharing my story & Anni with the world! Thank you for all the support!
