Rani was overwhelmed by the positive response to her lectures in Cape May for the Herb Society and Cape May County Library and for the Mt. Lakes branch of the American Association of University Women. Here is a letter she received from the vice-chairperson:

Dear Rani -
What a pleasure it was to meet you and Paul! Your presentation was so well received and you did a wonderful job in introducing the Indian herbs, Punjabi cooking and the health benefits of cooking with the herbs. I found your visuals so inspiring and a beautiful addition to your presentation. How nice of you to share personal pictures and lovely stories - it made me feel part of your family and experience. You shared so much of your beautiful self and were so thoughtful.

I can't thank you enough for sharing the food and the various bags of herbs. I am so new to this style of cooking and feel like a novice but also very excited to try a hand at it. I had tasted Indian cooking before but had been disappointed that the herbs used had overpowered the taste of the food. Your food selections were so delicious and you have now made me realize how true it is - that all Indian cooking is not the same. You opened your heart to all of us and that came through with your yummy food samples. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences but especially for sharing YOU - a beautiful woman with a big heart and love for all. I hope our paths cross again.

Please say hello to Paul - what a wonderful man you married - so supportive and helpful. I'm quite sure that his mother and your grandson continue to smile upon both of you. 
Blessings to you as you continue on your path! 

With A Smile, 
Elaine  Shaughnessy, Vice-Chairperson, Program Coordinator Herb society of America South Jersey Unit
