The author
Meet Sarika Gupta
A food writer, traveller and home cook, Sarika has lived across India and cooked her way through its regions. Through @worldfood_onmy_table she has inspired thousands to rediscover Indian vegetarian food.
The book began in 2021 in Thiruvananthapuram, when a month-long family visit turned into a year at home during the pandemic. What started as an idea at the dinner table became 160 recipes from 28 states.
