This book is an introduction, an invitation, to the resplendent realm of foods and flavours of this sub-continent. It strives to unveil and showcase the classic as well as creative innovations from different ‘food zones’ illustrative of the synthesizing genius of the Indian people. The concept of rasa (literally meaning essence) is common to the domains of arts and gastronomy. This delicious exploration of incredible India is inspired by the realization that the culinary heritage of this vast and varied land is as priceless as its literature, music, dance and majestic monuments.
