Feasts and Fasts: A History of Food in India by Colleen Taylor Sen traces the development of food and eating across the Indian subcontinent over thousands of years.
Rather than treating cuisine as a collection of recipes, Sen places ingredients, dishes and dietary customs within the region’s religious, social, moral and political history. The book explores how geography, migration, trade, belief and cultural exchange helped create India’s extraordinary regional diversity, making it a rich reference for readers interested in food history and South Asian culture.
