Oriya Cuisine at a Glance

Oriya Cuisine at a Glance seeks to bring to the fore an authentic treasure trove of traditional recipes which may soon disappear as many families have left their villages and have gone across to far flung corners of the world for education and employment. But at heart they are deeply rooted in their culture and heritage and are sentimental about their culinary tradition. The unique and healthy ethnic traditions of Oriya cuisine must not be lost amidst the onslaught of fast food and microwave meals. Hence the recipes given in this book have been collected and published for the next generation many of whom are residing in different parts of the country and overseas. Oriya Cuisine at a Glance seeks to bring to the fore the whole repertoire of cooking from the state of Orissa. The author has worked hard to bring together a whole host of well-known and lesser known recipes handed down by grandmothers so that their grand daughters who may now be living in far flung countries all over the world can go back to their culinary heritage and reproduce these dishes wherever they are.
