Sharing her experience about the book, Sakina says,:“Chef Vicky Ratnani and I have shot together a couple of times and he always had a pictorial cookbook in mind. We both wanted it to be filled with pictures and wanted to incorporate the Indian markets, vegetables and the whole process of how food gets onto the plate through photography. Armed with a camera we visited local markets, farms in Nasik and got some brilliant pictures. Chef Vicky's brilliant food styling and my ideas brought together this book.”
