About the Author
 Shelina Esmail Edgar was born in Uganda and immigrated to Canada with her family in 1972. She has a diploma in Financial Management from the British Columbia Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of British Columbia. She has worked in various fields including finance, marketing, real estate and insurance.
Shelina’s love of cooking began early in life. She spent her holidays in the rich countryside of Uganda where she watched their African chef literally catch a chicken from the garden, pluck it and prepare it for the evening meal. In the city, she helped her grandmother prepare authentic Indian / Persian food. As a teenager growing up in Canada, she watched her parents, both excellent cooks, combine Indian, Persian and African cuisines. This book is the culmination of these different experiences.
