Wonderful and romantic
This was just what I was looking for! A book of personal stories about Indian food. The author lived and traveled all over India. She reads her book so well too! It was a real joy.

Evocative! Takes one down memory lane, on a nostalgic, delicious trip through India's food stories.
An interesting nostalgia-evoking trip across India - punctuated with delicious food stories. Could have done better fact checking though - Khajuraho is in Orissa? And other such factual inaccuracies.
