## Description

A Taste Of Time ( A Food History Of Calcutta) : Mohona Kanjilal: desertcart.in: Fashion

Review: Great book to travel through the food evolution in a city so dear to many…. - The entire book is an emotion…!!! Every chapter takes you to those times in Calcutta where you know the families, the food and its connection with the larger city life. To the one who loves the city, Calcutta & curious to know the culinary development , has a deep interest in history and reading traditions growing into modern habits & lifestyles, will enjoy. This is not a food recipe book, though the chapters elaborate on ingredients of a few well known dishes across cultures, but a detailed narrative of a city’s journey through its different culinary landscapes. It was fun and nostalgic, reading through the pages…..
Review: Well researched - This book helps the reader to have an insight into the foodscape of Kolkata, as we see today. It covers major influences and interesting anecdotes surrounding how food establishments or dishes came into being. It doesn't contain much recipes (nor does it claim to provide such). This book is well researched and written in a simple language.
