The Abundance by Amit Majmudar [India / Fiction / Cooking]

A luminous, bittersweet novel of India and the American midwest, immigrants and their first-generation children, and the power of cooking to bridge the gulfs between them

When Mala and Ronak learn that their mother has only a few months to live, they are reluctantly pulled back into the midwestern world of their Indian
immigrant parents--a diaspora of prosperous doctors and engineers who have successfully managed to keep faith with the old world while
claiming the prizes of the new. More successfully than their children--equally ill at ease with Holi and Christmas, bhaji and barbecue,
they are mysteries to their parents and themselves.
