I am neither vegetarian nor vegan, but I am often very grateful that this book came into my kitchen early on in my cooking career; it has made me a better and more creative cook, while encouraging me to cook for a better future for our planet. The recipes in Krishna’s cookbook are an absolute delight, from her take on roti pizza to a salty-sweet lime beverage she refers to as “Indian Gatorade,” but perhaps the best part of Indian-ish is its emphasis on family legacies and learning through generations’ worth of passed-down cooking tips. Krishna co-wrote the cookbook with her mother, Ritu, and their bond jumps right off the page, making this the perfect kitchen companion for the next holiday you find yourself cooking alongside your parents and trying to be okay with it.
