Reading Experience
At 37,310 words across roughly 149 pages, this one runs about 3.1 hours of reading time. Long enough to dig into its subject properly, short enough that it does not lose you along the way. For food & kitchen, this length tends to work well — room to develop ideas without padding.
About the Author
How to Make Chai Like My Mother comes from 2021, 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 24 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.
