fiogf49gjkf0d Om Books International along with Hybrid, recently launched author Saransh Goila’s India on My Platter: The 20,000-km Food Journey. The book was launched by celebrity chef, television host and author Sanjeev Kapoor.
According to a press release, the book is a unique travelogue—Goila sets off on a culinary trail through India to discover the various nuances of local cuisine. From rural villages to barren deserts to freezing mountains, he unfolds the flavour of his destination by meeting local villagers or erstwhile royalty and picking up a tip or two to use in his kitchen. Wherever he goes, he makes sure to visit the famous eateries of that place. Through him, the reader can vividly smell the spices and taste the dishes that are described. The recipes given also present ways on using locally found ingredients. From having steaming Murthal ke paranthe to savouring tasty street food in hometown Delhi, from cooking on a boat in Varanasi to cooking dishes using a bamboo hollow in Assam, Goila does it all and presents his adventures in a lucid, flowing narrative peppered with humorous anecdotes.
Goila informs, "This book captures the amazing experience I had while I travelled 60 cities in 100 days across 25 states. It is not just a chef’s but a boy’s spiritual journey. From a roadside truck stop to India's biggest omelette centre, to a kitchen in Kullu—this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity made me cover it all. I'm sure any person who loves to travel and eat, after reading the book would want to travel the length and breadth of India."
