Monica's Papa is making his famous butter chicken, and Monica can't wait to help him prepare it! As Monica helps Papa cook, he tells her stories of his childhood in Delhi: how he ate this dish with his father, of love and laughter, family and friendships - all beautiful bonds forged through sharing and built around the dinner table. But when the butter chicken is ready, everyone starts to turn up at the door with their own dish. Monica is suddenly sad.

She's not sure she wants to share her butter chicken, or her Papa! But Papa gently reassures Monica that the love he has for her is the strongest of all. This warm and inspiring book delivers a heartfelt message about sharing and community in an innovative way, with gorgeous illustrations by Abeeha Tariq. Monica Saigal's sumptuous story about the special bond between a father and his daughter celebrates Monica's own Indian heritage and memories of making food with her family.
