Description

Radha was on the verge of winning the world’s biggest kathak dancing competition when a family betrayal shattered her dreams, and her confidence. Now, she’s made a deal with her mum: study dance for a year at the Princeton Academy of Arts and Sciences and then leave that world forever. But if she’s not a dancer, what is she? Could learning to cook – a way to connect with her absent father – become her new passion?
Jai, captain of the academy’s Bollywood Beats dance team, is putting his hopes of going to medical school on hold because money is tight at home. But then Jai meets Radha and as sparks fly, he soon realizes she could be the ingredient he and Bollywood Beats need for a life-changing year.
Can Radha and Jai figure out their dreams and choreograph their happily ever after?
For fans of Elizabeth Acevedo’s WITH THE FIRE ON HIGH and Sandhya Menon’s WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI.

This book should be made into a movie asap. I can imagine it already.

Radha & Jai's Recipe for Romance is a wonderful contemporary which centers not only around dance and food, but also family relations and the stressful year before college. It tackles topics I could 100% relate to, like anxiety, fear of failure, or fear of not being enough.

Both Jai and Radha have their own issues and aren't perfect, which makes them all the more real and relatable. I was rooting for them all along and wanted them to be happy, despite their many flaws.

I also loved how Indian culture was brought into the story, which was all the more refreshing and I always love to read about different cultures. I also really enjoyed Radha's relationship with her Dad and Jai's relationship with his family in general.

Basically, all I have to say is it's been a while since I've enjoyed a YA contemporary this much. It's coming out this month so definitely keep an eye out for it!

A huge thank you to NetGalley and Little Tiger Group for a digital review copy in exchange of an honest and voluntary review.

A classic Bollywood romance with ALL the ingredients. And it's got Kathak, PANEER, and a RAIN SCENE. LOVE.

(This may seem super minor but also shoutout to author Nisha Sharma for making all the recipes in the book vegetarian - actually means a lot to me! Some favourites in there too - aloo tikki, paranthas (YUM), and did I mention the paneer? So many things I love squished into just one book!)
