Great News!
February 3rd, 2009 filed under News and UpdatesI am now officially a grandma for the third time and I’m absolutely in love with my precious granddaughter! I have been with her since her birth and am loving taking care of her. These past few weeks have been really busy for me. I have to say my granddaughter is cute as a button and it will be fun to watch her grow.
With a new baby, it is important for new moms to eat well and more importantly eat the right foods. These days I’ve really been working to convince my daughter-in-law and son just how important diet is for new moms. It’s been a struggle trying to get my daughter-in-law to not eat foods she loves such as breads, pastas, and snack foods. Although, I have to say my son is harder to convince than she is as he just brought back her favorite ice cream and snack food from the grocery store!
welcome for a new family member and congrats to u all
Hello Aunty,
Congrats to your son, daughter-in law, to you and to your husband!!! Wow…yours is such a wonderful family…
Wow. What a nice grandmother you are. For some they will never take charge of taking care of the baby. They will only do that for a while. But you are different, you want to see the baby grow and much more take care from birth to adulthood. Congrats.
Congratulations Manjula! and good recovery to your daughter in law. What a great chance and help she has to have you!
Manjula Aunty,
Congratulations ! on the new addition to ur family. Thanks a lot for sharing your treasure of recipes and
experience. It is so helpful to see u making dishes then just reading them.
One more thing I have to share…. ur hands specially ur thumb is exactly like my mothers…I know its weird
me mentioning that here but I had to.
Thanks and Regards

Dear Manjula Aunty,

I have, infact, start to love cooking, thanks to you! I tried making gajar ka halwa today and it’s fabulous (if i may say so myself)
Congratulations once again and keep up the great work!

Hi Manjula Aunty,
Firstly, huge congratulations on the birth of your grand-daughter. I’m sure she will be
a huge light in your life (dadi-mama’s are the best).
Manjula, I wanted to tell you how much your website and the links to your video’s have
helped me, in fact,you have taught me so much. I could NOT cook any Indian food before
I turned to you. I married my husband 3yrs ago, he is Hindu (from Jammu) and I am a white
English girl. I had to learn fast or he would have had to starve (he finds most of British foods
quite bland) as do most of my asian friends.
You may do this has a hobby but you are truly an amazing woman. I cannot thank you
enough. I receive great reviews on my cooking when we have friends and family round
for dinner and I couldn’t have done it without you. HUGE thanks, and hugs…and congratulations
once again on the new addition to your family. xxxx

Congratulations! It is so refreshing to see a Grandma fully embracing being with her grandchildren, especially when mom is still postpartum and needs much care! You are so right on when it comes to new moms needing to pay close attention to their diet postpartum….those babies use up alot of momma’s EFA’s and minerals! Lots of cooked greens and good quality butter and olive oil, plus sesame oil massage will go a long way to restoring baby’s mama! Lucky she has you to cook for her!
I actually came here to say thank-you but got sidetracked by the baby news and nutrition comment! I love you site and watching you cook inspires me when I just don’t feel like it!
Love Sherry
