Don’t expect too much and it might not disappoint you.
Bright, attractive and pleasing to eyes. It does put a lot of Indian food on plate but sadly misses out on most of the popular delicacies of so many places in India. Liked it but might not suggest it further.

Happy with this purchase
Not too many words, so younger children stay engaged. Great pictures and food choices too. It seems to cover multiple people groups and cultures throughout India.

A Wonderful ABC of Indian Food
This book made me feel deeply connected to India’s cuisines. The mix of dishes, from the familiar to the less known, is inspiring. It honours India’s diverse food traditions without overwhelming the reader. The author and illustrator capture each dish’s character (its name, its sound, and its place in culture) and turn it into something both kids and adults can enjoy. The illustrations are bright, vivid, and mouth-watering. I paused at every page, wanting to taste what I saw. As a parent, I love sharing this with my child. The simple rhymes, clear layout, and pronunciation guide help us explore foods together. It sparks curiosity, teaches respect for many cultures, and encourages us to try new flavors. If you want a book that comforts, teaches, and makes you hungry in the best way, this is a treasure for families, food lovers, and anyone who wants to broaden their taste and their heart.

Lovely illustrations and great representation of brown culture and people!
The illustrations are very detailed, love to see such talent in times of artificial intelligence. I personally loved the representation of the different Indian states‘ food. Kids will definitely enjoy this!

Absolutely Adore It
Such a cute book with clearly a lot of love put into it! The illustrations are colorful and pretty, and there's a pronunciation guide for the foods for those unfamiliar with the dishes and ingredients. I only wish it was a series so I could have more from other places around the world. It's that good! The exact kind of book I want for toddlers.
