Cookbook of Regional Cuisines of India

Each climate zone has its own flora and fauna, the ‘raw material’ for the region’s food, at the basic level. But apart from a varied climate, there is also tremendous diversity in history, culture and tradition, which gets superimposed on the preparation of food, and refines it to a sophisticated art. So in every part of India – a region, a state, a city – you will find a distinct cuisine that has evolved over centuries, with recipes perfected and passed down from generation to generation.
