About the Author
How to Cook for One comes from 2020, during the years when over 1,500 books had no platform. Amazon had shut the door. Draft2Digital said they were "a small company for small authors." The writing never stopped — Atharva was 23 and still producing food & kitchen work with no clear path to publication. The food writing connects back to Pune and Maharashtra — the flavors and food traditions here are personal, not researched from a distance.
