It's Friday evening and Mira Shah, 17, has wrapped up a biology exam to make it in time for the launch of her book at Soho House Mumbai in Juhu. The class 11 student of Jamnabai Narsee School is a pro at juggling academics with her interests. Her new cookbook, The Millennial Kitchen: Easy Recipes For Millennials, co-authored with mother, Tanvi, is proof. Centred around batch cooking, the book contains 45 simple, nutritious recipes, all aimed at resolving the one question that most millennials return home with: What's for dinner?

"It's not just for millennials, though," clarifies Mira, who started curating the recipes three years ago. "It's also for first-time cooks wondering where to begin, working professionals strapped for time, and seasoned chefs looking for fresh inspiration." The book tells you how to make four organic dips from scratch and use them to whip up a variety of dishes including vegan quesadillas, Mediterranean rolls, pesto risotto, and chicken roulade. All proceeds from the book's sales will go to Akshay Patra Foundation.
