I was born and brought up in a traditional Indian vegetarian family. Being the only daughter, I used to help my mother in preparing vegetarian dishes. Soon, I started to enjoy cooking and regularly experimented with different dishes; which led to developing many new recipes.

Afterwards, I got married in a Marwari family, and learnt a lot of Rajasthani dishes from my mother-in-law. Having lived in Thailand, the Philippines and Egypt. 1 used to make a variety of dishes using local ingredients, which our guests used to enjoy even more then non-vegetarian food. They were surprised to see that so many delicacies could be made in vegetarian food, and used to ask for recipes, since the food was tasty as well as, very healthy.

Encouraged by the demand from our guests and friends, I decided to put all my recipes together and launch a website. The website has been very successful and I have received a positive response.

My son is in the US for his studies. He is also a vegetarian and misses home food. Whenever I visited the States and invited his friends at home, they used to enjoy the vegetarian food very much. Since the students do not have much time to cook, they used to ask for recipes that could be made easily and quickly. My son's friends encouraged me to write a book, which would be handy and a helpful guide for cooking. This tempted me to write Vegilovers' Delight.

After gathering my favourite and popular recipes, I selected the most delicious and healthy ones for this book. These recipes are designed keeping in mind the ingredients that are easily available around the globe, without sacrificing taste and nutrition.
