“I am overwhelmed that my first book Amma Mia is garnering such a positive response from all readers and reviewers across. I am thankful to each and everyone, including my publisher Penguin Books, for showing love to a first-time author and encouraging my humble effort. Though the book was released in the middle of a pandemic and lockdown, it is still receiving a fabulous response from mothers (even fathers for that matter) who are texting and calling me to say that the book has been extremely helpful. I am also happy to know that Amma Mia has inspired many moms and authors who are also coming up with their own versions, but I am glad that my book Amma Mia is the first book of its kind in this genre. Every day many mothers are reaching out to me via social media on real-time basis and even personally reiterating how my recipes have been a boon to them as they are so simple & easy to make. I wish every parent and parents-to-be all the best. Children are our future and they deserve the best and as parents that is our foremost priority," Esha told.
Milee Ashwarya, Publisher, Ebury & Vintage Publishing, told, "Amma Mia has been the go-to book for many new mommies. Its practical, easy-to-apply and useful tips have been particularly valuable in the times of the pandemic when there is a stress on home food and home remedies. I hope many more readers enjoy reading Amma Mia and share their feedback with us."
