Sumana Roy +1
- Book Type:
- Description: आदिम इच्छाओं में भूख शामिल होती है। मन और शरीर की गहन ज़रूरत की तरह। यह किताब उस इच्छा को सम्मानित करती हुई इस बात की भी खोज करती है कि सभ्यता के विकास के साथ-साथ खाने की संस्कृति का भी क्षेत्रीय और सांस्कृतिक विकास कैसे और क्योंकर हुआ। आज वैज्ञानिक, इतिहासकार और पाककला-विशेषज्ञ खाने के ज़रिये सभ्यताओं-संस्कृतियों की कहानी भी रोशनी में लाने लगे हैं। इस ज़रूरी दस्तावेज़ीकरण से खाने के इतने डायनमिक्स अनावृत हो गए कि अचम्भा होता है। उसी अचम्भे की बानगी है यह ‘सतरंगी दस्तरख़्वान’। भारत के सुदूर कोनों के इतिहास, विरासत, क्षेत्रीय प्रभावों और मिलीजुली संस्कृतियों से उपजी यादों से बनी यह किताब जहाँ एक ओर गोवा में प्रचलित पावरोटी की कहानी कहती है तो दूसरी ओर कलकत्ता के निराले रसोइये की कहानी भी। यहाँ सन्देश जैसी बंगाली मिठाई की कहानी एक परिवार के इतिहास से निकलकर समकाल की सामाजिक कहानी हो जाती है। अमृतसर से इंग्लैंड और असम से चेन्नई तक अपने कलाकारों, लेखकों को कैसे अपने खाने से सींचते-सँजोते हैं यह भी दर्ज है यहाँ। फिर लंगर जब इक्कीसवीं सदी में प्रतिरोध का स्वर बन जाए और साधारण दाल-भात अपने समय पर टिप्पणी करने लगें तब खाने के इस आर्काइवल महत्त्व को बखूबी जाना और समझा जा सकता है। बहुआयामी आस्वादों से भरी इस किताब में खाने की बायोग्राफी के बहाने कलाकारों, लेखकों, ऐक्टिविस्टों के धड़कते दिलों की कहानी भी है जिनके संग चलते-चलते हम चमत्कृत यात्री अपना देश घूम लेते हैं। असाधारण रूप से पठनीय एक किताब
A Sindhi Mother’s Cookbook
- Author Name:
Duru Sachdev
- Book Type:
- Description: A Sindhi Mother’s Cookbook is, like any other task mother undertakes, a labour of love. It is a wonderful compilation of recipes from a typical Sindhi kitchen that is mindful of modern lifestyles. Written with great clarity and with easy-to-follow instructions, it gently encourages even the most hesitant to try their hand at producing authentic dishes from this age-old cuisine. But the flavours imbued by the ‘Sindhi Mother’ permeate much more than the simple detailing of ingredients and method: they are evocative of the dining table, leisurely family gatherings, of shared meals prepared and served with the utmost care and savoured in appreciation — of the food, the company and, most of all, the individual who laboured over it with such love. And that is what makes the difference.

- Book Type:
- Description: Ever wondered why your grandmother threw a teabag into the pressure cooker while boiling chickpeas, or why she measured using the knuckle of her index finger? Why does a counterintuitive pinch of salt make your kheer more intensely flavorful? What is the Maillard reaction, and what does it have to do with fenugreek? How does your high school chemistry knowledge, or what you remember of it, relate to perfectly browning your onions? Masala Lab by Krish Ashok is a science nerd's exploration of Indian cooking with the ultimate goal of making the reader a better cook and turning the kitchen into a joyful, creative playground for culinary experimentation. Just like memorizing an equation might have helped you pass an exam but not made you a chemist, following a recipe without understanding its rationale can be a sub-optimal way of learning how to cook. Exhaustively tested and researched, and with a curious and engaging approach to food, Krish Ashok has put together the one book the Indian kitchen definitely needs, proving along the way that your grandmother was right all along.
