Recipes from a Gujarati Kitchen contains recipes that have been passed down to Taruna Chauhan from her mother, mother-in-law, and other family members.

For Taruna, food was an important part of growing up. Whenever her family had visitors, they never left without eating, and even as a low-income family, there was always food on the table.

Taruna’s love for food and cooking has never left her, and learning to cook at school gave her the skills to cook European foods, along with the Indian dishes she learnt from her mother.

She began writing after the passing of her mother, to capture in print the traditional recipes that have only been passed between her family orally, and so anyone who wants to learn to cook can give them a try.

Taruna Chauhan is an established coach and mentor. She uses the different modalities of NLP, mBIT, and ILM7 to support her clients in finding their inner wisdom. Her other passion in life is cooking. Taught by her mother and siblings, she loves nothing better than pottering in the kitchen.
