BENGALI COOKING SEASONS AND FESTIVALS

Chitrita Banerji

This slim volume will be of interest not only to those who cook, but also to those who only eat. Banerji’s book uses food as an entry point into Bengali culture, travelling across the Gangetic delta region, in both India and Bangladesh, to show the wide diversity of food and rituals among the Bengali people.
