Jevayla Ye - Everyday East Indian Recipes from Abby's Hearth

Gourmand Award Certificate Info

Edouard Cointreau, President of the Gourmand Awards, praised this book work for its depth and cultural significance, and this is what the certificate issued by him states:

"Congratulations to Abby and Sarah Rebello for this beautiful homage to the everyday foodways of Mumbai’s East Indian community. By gathering the dishes lovingly shared by Mom Astrid, Mama Catherine, and many relatives, you open the door for cooks everywhere to experience this extraordinary culinary legacy. Through your careful guidance and deep devotion, you continue the journey started with your earlier festive volume, ensuring that these beloved traditions are passed forward and cherished well into the future.”

This project showcases the work for my own ethnic East Indian cookbook, from the attention grabbing red cover art to the classy interior designs with colorful food illustrations by my designer Akshata. A collation of mom's and granny's recipes, the book was named the Best Indigenous People cookbook in the World at the 31st international Gourmand Awards held in Riyadh in Nov 2025.
