Traditional dishes and their occasions in Bangladesh (digital PDF)

Traditional Dishes & Their Occasions in Bangladesh is much more than a cookbook – it is a poetic homage to the soul of a cuisine that cooks with love, faith and memory.
Author Anar Daal guides us through the house of the Bengali Baidya family, where Mrs. Vanumoti Baidya preserves the food of her ancestors with quiet devotion: fragrant dal, golden rice, sweet roshogolla, crispy singara and tender pitha.

Each chapter tells of a dish – and at the same time of a feeling, a celebration, a prayer.
Accompanied by cultural explanations, rituals and sensitive language, this work becomes a window into the spiritual and culinary heart of Bengal.
“When memory guides the spoon, every dish tastes of eternity.”

• over 25 authentic Bengali recipes with lovingly told stories
