Description
Satrangi Dastarkhwan is a beautifully curated anthology that brings together India’s vibrant food stories, memories, and cultural reflections in the Hindi language. Edited by acclaimed literary voices Sumana Roy and Kunal Ray, and translated with care by Vandana Rag and Geet Chaturvedi, the book presents an intimate and flavorful experience of the many kitchens, tastes, and stories from across the country.
Drawing its essays from the original English publication On Eating, this Hindi version provides thoughtful insights into how food is not only sustenance but a vital part of our identity, history, and emotion. From everyday meals to festive spreads, from the personal to the political, these essays bring alive the emotional and cultural nuances of Indian cuisine.
Whether it’s a nostalgic memory of a grandmother’s cooking, the story of a forgotten regional dish, or the quiet politics of what we eat, each essay is a window into the soul of India’s diverse foodscape.
