Mom Made with Love: Recipes on Life, Business and Enterprise

A mother is our first friend and foremost guru. And yet, we underestimate her lessons on life, love, hospitality, relationships, time and resource management, dismissing them as old fashioned, simplistic and naive. We tell her she’s out of touch and inexperienced—when running a home with limited resources is a job to rival the most gifted entrepreneur’s! Often she’s a career woman too, managing family and work with planning, precision and prioritisation.

One son who’s finally understood the inherent solidity of mom-made life lessons is food entrepreneur Gaurav Gite, founder of Marrakesh, the Lebanese/Indian chain of restaurants. Starting with his mother’s life savings and her belief in him, Gaurav’s is a success story, whose journey would have been smoother if he had listened to Mumma!

Hence, this book.

A tribute, love letter and long overdue apology to the wonder woman that is Mumma – Gaurav’s and everyone else’s too.
