I was hoping there would be a recipe at the end of the book, and boy did Sandhya Acharya deliver. The only reason why it's missing a star is because I was also hoping for a presentation of numbers 1-10 in Hindi.

I'm inclined to love books about food. Learning about a food new to me is especially welcome. In 10 Gulab Jamuns, Mamma is preparing fantastic sounding sweet treats for their guests. The illustrations are bright, cheerful, and show the mischievous children at work. The Gulab Jamuns are sweet, but so are the interactions between the family members.
The inclusion of a recipe for gulab jamuns makes the book even more fun. I look forward to trying out the recipe in the future. Readers and their families will likely be inspired to make Gulab Jamuns after reading this cute story of family and food that is universal while also highlighting Indian culture.
Recomendation: This is a nice addition to any picture book collection especially for those looking for representation from India or books focusing on food.

Now I want to eat Indian food. Cute book, maybe fun for when the niece starts to learn numbers?

Such cute illustrations (this needs to be an animated cartoon right now), lends itself perfectly to a flannel-board story to count away the missing gulab jamuns with the characters. Ends with a great recipe for readers to make their own sweet treat!
