Bong Mom's Cookbook : Stories From A Bengali Mother's Kitchen

The elaborate Sunday morning breakfasts, the seasonal delicacies, the preserves that made available non-seasonal flavours this is the stuff of childhood memories. Tragically, given the sheer pace of life today, it has become harder and harder to follow in our mothers footsteps, to recreate moments of bonding in the kitchen, to maintain family traditions, especially when it comes to food. Sandeepa Mukherjee Datta blogger, foodie and mother of two strives to make this possible in her own life, and yours. This delicious book travels from Sandeepa s grandmother s kitchen in north Calcutta to her home in a New York suburb through heart-warming anecdotes and quick-easy recipes.

Though the book is not a cookbook in the strict sense but an enticing mix of food related anecdotes and traditional Bengali recipes, this new woman s spin on old traditions, Bong Mom's Cookbook is a must-have kitchen supplement for Bongs and non-Bongs alike.
