“Mumma, what will you give me tomorrow in the tiffin?” I am sure most mothers come across this question repeatedly. I am also sailing in the same boat. This is a very relevant question for mothers as we want to pack something tasty yet healthy for our munchkins. Like many others over the internet, I have repeatedly referred to Archana’s recipe blog for several recipes. So when I came across her book on recipes for children’s tiffins, I had to pick it up, cook up a storm in the kitchen, and later review this book, Tasty Tiffin by Archana Doshi.
