Ep 110 Ever wonder how to write a cookbook and get your food products in grocers like Whole Foods? You’ll love this conversation with Anupy Singla who left a career in journalism to write 4 Indian food cookbooks and start a food and housewares line, Indian As Apple Pie.

Author, blogger, and entrepreneur Anupy Singla is the author of four cookbooks, Instant Pot Indian, The Indian Slow Cooker, Indian for Everyone, and Vegan Indian Cooking – among the top-selling Indian cookbooks in North America. Born in India and raised outside of Philadelphia, Anupy grew up visiting her grandfather’s village in the heart of Punjab, India. It was from him that she received her first spice lesson. It was this passion for spice and authentic Indian ingredients that led her to leave her career as a television journalist to cook every recipe she grew up eating, blog about it on www.indianasapplepie.com, and create delicious food memories for her own daughters and now thousands of fans. Anupy’s gourmet food line ‘Indian As Apple Pie’ specializes in authentic Indian spices, sauces, and legumes and is carried by grocery stores in the Midwest and beyond including Whole Foods Market, Woodlake Market in Kohler, WI, and Harvest Market in Champaign, IL. Her practical, journalistic style has made Indian food accessible to so many and celebrates Indian cooking from an American point of view – in essence Indian As Apple Pie.
