Nani’s Kitchen is a tribute created by the children and grandchildren of Abida Lalani, sharing the recipes she is best known for. An extraordinary cook, she has given each of us our favorite dishes and cherished moments around the table. She cooks with care and instinct perfected over decades, offering instructions to her recipes that often puzzle us—“a pinch of this,” “a little of that”—yet everything comes together beautifully. These meals, and the stories behind them, continue to inspire us and connect our family across generations.
