Kitchen Secrets of TelanganaThe Dundoo Cookbook is a veritable compendium of vegetarian recipes that remain true to the classic Telangana school of cuisine! This is a collection that has passed the test of time and innovative interventions of modern-day cooking to reveal the wisdom of traditions that were commonplace in kitchens of yore. To have been passed on between five generations within a family is perhaps its singularly unique characteristic and the promise that it shall keep being handed down to generations ahead means that Telangana food culture will continue to thrive in its vegetarian avatars through members of the extended Dundoo family of Secunderabad. This aggregation of recipes encompasses most meal components of a typical home meal, with unique snacks and tiffin, a wide variety of vegetable accompaniments to go with robust preparations of lentils and a choice of staples in rice. That said, no Telugu meal is offered without dollops of home-crafted ghee, various chutneys, thokkus and podis, of which there is a nice repertoire to check out. Festive sweetmeats hold their own at the table and the Malida Muddalu is to die for.

In 1952 Narayani Nayak, an Udupi-based homemaker, published Cookery Craft as a 'convenient kitchen companion to every housewife'. Spanning the cuisine of the entire Konkani-speaking community of Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka, Naik's cookbook quickly became a go-to for Konkani brides, and was reprinted four times before it disappeared. That is, until food blogger Jyotsna Shahane rediscovered this lost gem. Inspired by Nayak's recipes, The Classic Konkan Cookbook is more than a second act. Shahane draws from her own experiences cooking Konkani food for over 40 years, adding new recipes and updating older ones for modern appliances and measuring techniques. From Duddi Koshambari, a delectable pumpkin flower salad and to Kori Gassi, a robust chicken curry, The Classic Konkan Cookbook features over 100 delicious recipes celebrating the freshness and simplicity of coastal food. An inspiring collection for a new generation of home cooks looking to add traditional tastes to their table.
Calcutta, for whose slums and poverty many moan, has been a city swept by various imported ideas and vibrant with indigenous ones. In the process it has evolved into a creative center, especially in the fields of arts, thought, and science. Controversy is what the city has thrived upon, despite its multiplicity of problems. The book deals with some of the controversies and their contribution to contemporary society and culture. "...a very well informed account--highly perceptive--of intellectual trends and related changes in Calcutta." Robert J. Crane Ford-Maxwell Professor of South Asia History Syracuse University
