The Business of Recipes is a story cookbook that goes beyond recipes. It documents how Indian immigrants used food and property as a business model — turning food and bricks into sustainable livelihoods: homes, shops, hotels, and bed & breakfasts, food stalls & markets!  The book shares practical insights into the pioneering nature of immigrants, entrepreneurship, property, hospitality, and food business, while also exploring culture, parenting, nutrition, conflict of east and west, and the crucial and overlooked role of the contribution and status of women, who make the heart of the family.  

Each chapter ends with 4 'Food for Thought' sections on: 

• Business & money
• Immigrant & British perspectives
• Culture, family & parenting observations
• Nutrition & health notes...

...inviting the reader to consider opposing eastern and western perspectives and differing viewpoints.

It’s an autobiographical story cookbook, a guide and a celebration: part cookbook, part business memoir, and part cultural history.

Beta Reader feedback from three Beta testers has come in with the following reviews:

"... this is a stunning idea - an autobiography and cook book combined - unique - so you arouse the reader’s curiosity on two or rather three counts, basic things - food and life and business. The recipes and the photos are stunning - mouth-watering. The written style. it is lively and intense and very alive. I love it. I think your English is very vivid"...Professor Isobel Armstrong.
