Product Description

Review

"Calcutta Kitchen round up recipes for dishes bequeathed to Calcutta (now Kalkata) by its many rulers...The authentic, inviting and unintimidating recipe, excellent commentary and photography reminiscent of movie stills helped me finally get my hands around what hitherto seemed an enigmatic and formal cuisine...Calcutta Kitchen brings out the hallmarks of Bengali dining--the use of mustard, a thorough preoccupation with freshness, a course-by-course approach to the meal (alone among Indian cuisines) and, most of all, a love of fish."


Product Description

Calcutta's food is richly diverse. There's freshwater fish from the city's rivers, street food, recipes influenced by the British presence, sweets, extraordinary vegetarian dishes, and a rich variety of rice dishes. Simon Parkes explores the city's food culture, including its people, flavours, markets, traditions and restaurants, while Udit Sarkhel gives recipes for the city's finest dishes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chicken Tikka Masala Not, 29 Jan 2009
By Mr. Am Kean "adthelad" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not quite your usual indian cook book and don't expect any of your Friday night curry house faves here. What it does is give you an insight into the social and eating habits of West Bengals intellectual elite. They're middle class, not to showy and very bright. Colours are vivid and you get a taste of the sensory overload that awaits you in Kolkata. You know when you arrived that it is the real capital of India.

The recipes are easy to follow and have the natural colour of authentic indian food and not the radioactive stuff with cream we get here.
