Saee Koranne-Khandekar (@Saeek) walks us through Maharastrian culture via its food, in her new recipe book. Then, we roll back to a cookbook originally published in 1943, which chronicled the society of the time, even as it told young housewives what to do with the day’s find in the vegetable market. Why would a book review show pick up cookbooks, especially when I can’t really cook anything more than Maggi? Tune in to find out.
This is episode #3 of Bookasur, where the show begins to go off into uncharted territory. Fingers crossed!
