Shobha Kalyan

You’ll usually find Shobha in the kitchen, cooking up a mouth watering storm! It’s always been her dream to write a family Gujarati cookbook for her three girls. The authentic cuisine is a huge part of her family, and preserving her family recipes to pass on to future generations is something she’s always wanted to do. She’s played a huge role in cooking and testing her recipes multiple times, writing the recipes and other book content in a consistent and readable format, and helping to ensure that the structure of the book flows logically. She’s brought a lot of her story into the book to show how much Gujarati food has played in her life, making it that much more special!

Keryn Kalyan

Keryn loves working on side projects, and this has been the perfect project, with bonus points of being able to do it with her mum! Like her mum, she loves experimenting and having fun in the kitchen, and she’s also discovered a love for small business. Together these interests have enabled her to take on the roles of project managing, food photographing, researching, forming and managing the team, marketing, and completing other business activities. She never thought that this project would involve all of these things, but she’s loved learning it all and has a new appreciation for small business and self-published books!
