Julie Ajinkya
Author

Aditi Kakade Beaufrand is an Indian illustrator based in France. She likes experimenting with bright and happy colours. She grew up reading fairytales, watching animated films imagining adventure stories. Likewise her style is an embodiment of her Indian heritage and western culture. She loves animals and taking long walks on the beach but is never too far from a pencil and paper to draw her perception of the world.

Julie Ajinkya is a mom, equity advocate and professor of public policy who works to make sure that college is a true possibility for any student who wants to pursue a higher education. She was born and raised in New Jersey, but grew up traveling between the U.S. and India, where much of her large, extended family lives. She enjoys cooking and creating and lives in Washington DC with her partner and two boys.

Wonderful book!!

This is such a wonderful book! My daughter loves it. The pictures are beautiful, and it shares such a beautiful journey of Indian food. I can’t wait to see what Julie does next.

Beautiful, empowering, educational book!

Not only is this book beautiful, but it's so fun to read with my half-Indian kiddos! Thank you for creating this -- it is going to provide so many fun, delicious experiences for our whole family!

Ian McDiarmid
Joyful and Educational!

I love to cook, and Indian food is some of my favorite. Still, I learned new things! I particularly loved the bits about how families come together to make and enjoy food. I also was tickled by the cheerful drawings. I can’t wait to share this book with my niece and nephew and then share preparing some delicious food!

Gifting to all my nieces and nephews. Beautifully designed and chock full of information. Love that this represents an authentic experience and is pan-India. I can see kids getting excited to see their favorite foods. I can also see reluctant eaters be encouraged to try new foods.
