Description:

Food is everywhere in our daily lives — its colours, smells and tastes so familiar that we rarely stop to think about it. This lively non-fiction book invites young readers to do just that, taking a deep and delicious look at food in India. Where does what we eat actually come from? What's the history behind our crops and dishes, how do our choices affect the Earth, and how is food woven into our customs, festivals, regions and health? Packed with fascinating facts, regional diversity and Rohan Chakravarty's witty illustrations, it turns an everyday subject into a genuinely thought-provoking journey — and gives curious minds plenty to, well, chew on.
