"Accompany Sonal Ved on a journey of taste through the Indian subcontinent. We go from the banks of the Indus in 1900 BC to the great kingdoms of the north many centuries later; from the time of the Mauryans to when the Mughal Sultanate reigned supreme. Meet the Europeans merchants desperate to trade in Indian treasures. What are the origins of chutney or the fruit punch, and how are they connected to India? Who taught us how to make ladi pav and kebabs? Discover the food history and traditions from the mountains in Kashmir to the backwaters of Kanyakumari; from the ports of the Bay of Bengal to the shores of the Arabian Sea. And finally, we find out whose samosa it truly is..."--Back cover.
