| Brief Description: | A Treasury of Recipes from pavement to palace. But this book is much more than a cookery book - - it is a culinary chronicle of travelers and traders who built the city that Job Charnock founded.
Many of these are family secrets of Calcuttans who have recreated Armenian, Jewish, Arabian, European, Chinese and Tibetan dishes with a distinct Calcutta flavor. Through over two hundred tried and tested recipes ranging from the delicious Bengali Chingri Maacher Malai Curry to the biryani and kebabs of Kabul, and the Temperado, Vindaloo and Sorpotel of Goa, Calcutta unfolds as a gourmet's paradise.
