Review-
Thumbs Up-
●The entire portrayal of her journey towards understanding and getting in touch with her inner self, the author has done a brilliant job.
●The best thing about this book is the raw emotions, which the author never tried to shy away from and thus making this a more realistic read.
● Then comes the icing in the cake, her passion towards food and cooking especially Kashmiri food and her immense knowledge about spices and a courage for experimentation.
● The personal recipes were a bonus(spoiler alert!!!)
Thumbs down-
◆The book was a perfect creation except the fact that the author wrote the book as she felt it there were instances where I felt lost in the whirlpool of emotions which she described and some of which were hard to grasp.
Personal Views-
This book was a delicacy for me which I relished to the last pages and the recipes were the chownk to a mouthwatering creation. The journey to self discovery is something that held its meaning with all these spices which otherwise would not have been that much irresistible.
