New Delhi, July 9 : Its a love letter to a city. Even as she explores cuisines and eateries synonymous with Kolkata, the author, who has been living there forever, discovers her city anew with every page -- first with surprise, and then gratitude.
Author Mohona Kanjilal, whose latest 'A Taste of Time: A Food History of Calcutta' (Speaking Tiger) is a journey through the ever changing landscape of Kolkata's food and cultural milieu, from its decades old cutlet, jhal muri and puchka stalls to its iconic continental restaurants like Firpo's and Flurys, from its oldest tea shop -- Favourite Cabin to the 21st century fine dining restaurants. A book that not about the food of Kolkata, but also its history, sights, sounds, colour and smell.
