İ honestly can't believe this. I mean really? Just because she didn't get what food lab is and it is not for her?
Food lab is a really important book in the sense that it makes you think about the cooking process and why you are doing such and such and ultimately you learn something by doing that and hopefully become a better cook. Made in India on the other hand is just another good recipe book. It doesn't challange you or contribute anything to the genre. I believe that Food Lab will continue to be an important book in the years to come as it signals a new approach to cooking not necessarily a better one but a new one which I think should be welcomed and not dismissed like that. Made in India on the other hand will be replaced by another good book in Indian cooking in a relatively short period. Just wait and see. It is such a shame.
