Team Kitaab is in conversation with Malayasian author Mohana Gill as a part of the South Asian Women Writers Feature.
For the whole of March, we will be featuring South Asian Women Writers on Kitaab for the whole of March. You can read the editor’s note to know more about this.
Today, we are featuring award-winning Malayasian author, Mohana Gill. She holds an M. Com degree from the University of Rangoon, a post graduate Diploma in Industrial Administration from the University of Manchester and an MBA from the University of Toronto.
She came to Malaysia as an expatriate to teach at the University of Malaya. She met her husband, a nephrologist, and decided to be a full-time home maker when her first child was born. She wrote her first book FRUITASTIC at the age of 70 and went on to write many more books.
The only Malaysian to have won eight “Best in the World” from Gourmand World Cookbook Awards and one “Best of The Best”. Author Mohana Gill writes cookbooks with a twist. She is not satisfied with just sharing recipes with readers. She is concerned about the eating habits of families and has made it her mission to share information and knowledge while encouraging readers to eat healthily for wellness and longevity.
