If you own one of them and invite me into your house you are just asking me to take them. In order to not put relevant parties on guard I have not mentioned too many hard to find books of yesteryear that I plan to steal whenever I have the opportunity. If you are someone whose family intermarried between communities or regions in the same state you know how different the food is depending on which side of the family you are visiting (in my own family the East/West Bengal divide is clear and there’s a great deal of granularity within East/West as well). Please keep in mind that even state cuisines are a bit of a generalization. I begin with a couple of books that fall in the “not national but not hyper-regional” category and then drill down by state/community. The list is also inconsistently annotated: if you have questions about any of the entries, ask in the comments. I invite you to write in to the comments to excoriate me for leaving out an obvious entry or, as we say in the academic racket, to supplement it. do any of you know about this book?” Somehow I have soldiered on.īut, as I say, this is not a comprehensive list. All the virtues in the list that follows are due to my rigour all errors and instances of chauvinist bias, poor taste and confusion have been introduced by them-particularly by Anjali who contributed such nuggets as “Btw, I have this cookbook in Marathi that belonged to my m-i-l, haven’t really tried anything from it. Our usual topics of conversation are food, academic gossip, Indian and American politics and the evergreen topic of where we should escape to (Finland and Uruguay are the current front-runners).

(In the academic racket we refer to this kind of statement as “limiting the terms of discussion” aka “covering your ass”.) It’s an entirely idiosyncratic list based on my own relatively small collection of cookbooks and those of my friends Anjali, Aparna and Prachi with whom I spend an hour or two over the day, every day across timezones on Whatsapp. I should say first of all that this is not meant to be any kind of comprehensive list. Global ecommerce means we aren’t limited to what American publishers choose to put out: most of the books that follow are easily available online for less than you would pay for some overpriced restaurant or cooking show host’s cookbook that you will never actually cook anything from. Then I thought that I should put my money where my mouth is and actually list some of these books for interested parties. The problem, I noted, is that American food media has no interest-for the most part-in these books.

On Twitter I noted that in the case of Indian cuisines, at least, a number of excellent regional cookbooks exist, many written in English, others translated into it. Late in the piece the owner of a culinary bookstore, Ken Concepcion, is quoted as follows: “I’m sure there are amazing regional books about Chinese food, about China, or regional Pakistani books, but they’re not written in English”. Earlier this week I enjoyed reading Bettina Makalintal’s piece for Munchies on American food media’s tendency to flatten and collapse heterogeneous culinary traditions into national ones.
