“Food wasn’t just food; it was love, laughter, and the heartbeat of every gathering,” says author Veena Katikineni. “This book is my love letter to dosa, to my roots, and to the joy of sharing both with the world.”<\/p>\n

A physician by training, Veena Katikineni drew inspiration for Dosa Day<\/strong> from her cherished memories growing up surrounded by large family gatherings, homemade meals, and the comforting rituals of cooking together. Now living in Southern California with her husband and two sons, she believes magic lives in everyday moments, especially those shared around a table.<\/p>\n
