Masala Lab by Krish Ashok Pdf

Ever wondered why your grandmother threw a teabag into the pressure cooker while boiling chickpeas, or why she measured using the knuckle of her index finger? Why does a counter-intuitive pinch of salt make your kheer more intensely flavourful? What is the Maillard reaction and what does it have to do with fenugreek? What does your high-school chemistry knowledge, or what you remember of it, have to do with perfectly browning your onions? Masala Lab by Krish Ashok is a science nerd's exploration of Indian cooking with the ultimate aim of making the reader a better cook and turning the kitchen into a joyful, creative playground for culinary experimentation. Just like memorizing an equation might have helped you pass an exam but not become a chemist, following a recipe without knowing its rationale can be a sub-optimal way of learning how to cook. Exhaustively tested and researched, and with a curious and engaging approach to food, Krish Ashok puts together the one book the Indian kitchen definitely needs, proving along the way that your grandmother was right all along.

Culinary History of the Gangetic Plains by Dr Anshumali Pandey Pdf

The world population has grown by about five billion since the beginning of the Green Revolution and many believe that, without the Revolution, there would have been greater famine and malnutrition. Population movements increase urban populations and reduce rural populations. This reduces labor productivity in agricultural areas and causes these areas to remain inactive and increases the pressure of urban development on these areas. Keeping above in view the I present this book “Culinary History of the Gangetic Plains” has been attempted. Agriculture is extremely important as it not only provides food and a sense of livelihood to many people in India, but also is a source of employment for many. Being a relatively poorer in certain parts of India, the jobs created as a result of agriculture contribute majorly to people’s incomes and livelihoods. As a result, agricultural industries greatly add to the Gross Domestic Product of India and consequently lead to benefits to the economy such as an increased multiplier effect. Historically, the civilizations established on fertile lands with assure supply of water for livelihood as well as for crops and animals. In India too Indo Gangetic plains bestowed with fertile land as well as adequate supply and availability of water for humans and animals; and irrigation purposes. Therefore, as expected in past history the population density increased more in the Indo Gangetic Plains due to favorable soils and water availability.

Introduction to Cookery for Elementary School Children by Dr Anshumali Pandey Pdf

Cooking with children is a joyful and educational experience that can inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love for healthy and delicious food. As children participate in the kitchen, they not only develop practical cooking skills but also enhance their literacy, numeracy, science, and social-emotional abilities. Cooking can also be a way to explore different cultures, traditions, and values, and to connect with others through food. However, cooking with children can also present challenges and risks if not done properly. Teachers, parents, and caregivers need to be aware of food safety, hygiene, nutrition, and developmental appropriateness when planning and conducting cooking activities with children. They also need to consider the resources, equipment, and materials available, as well as the cultural, social, and economic backgrounds of the children and families involved. This book aims to provide practical and evidence-based guidance on how to cook with children in a safe, fun, and meaningful way. It is based on the personal and long experience of the author Dr Anshumali Pandey and various users, who shared their experiences, insights, and questions about cooking with children. The book is organized into chapters that cover different aspects of cooking with children, such as planning, preparation, safety, equipment, recipes, and cultural diversity. Each chapter includes practical tips, examples, and suggestions based on the chat conversations, as well as additional resources and references for further learning. The book is intended for teachers, parents, and caregivers who want to engage children in cooking activities, as well as for students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of education, nutrition, and child development. It is not a comprehensive guide or a cookbook, but rather a collection of ideas and experiences that can inspire and inform cooking with children. We hope that this book will encourage more people to cook with children and to discover the joys and benefits of this rewarding activity. We also hope that it will spark further conversations and collaborations among educators, parents, and researchers, and contribute to a more inclusive, healthy, and sustainable food culture for all.

Feasts and Fasts by Colleen Taylor Sen Pdf

"The second most populous country in the world after China and the seventh largest in area, India is unique among nations in its diversity of climates, languages, religions, tribes, customs and cuisines. Today, Indian food in its many incarnations has become a world cuisine. This reflects an increased awareness of the virtues of a traditional Indian diet, especially the centrality of fruits, vegetables and grains and the extensive use of spices, the benefits of which have been confirmed by modern science. India has always been part of the global economy. For thousands of years, the subcontinent was the centre of a vast network of land and sea trade routes - conduits for plants, ingredients, dishes and cooking techniques to and from the rest of the world. Foreign visitors have long marvelled at India's agricultural bounty, including its ancient indigenous plants, such as lentils, mangoes, turmeric and pepper, all of which have been central to the Indian diet for thousands of years. Yet what is it that makes Indian food so recognizably Indian, and how did it get that way? Feasts and Fasts: A History of Food in India is an exploration of Indian cuisine in the context of the country's religious, moral, social and philosophical development. It addresses topics such as dietary prescriptions and proscriptions, the origins of vegetarianism, culinary borrowings and innovations, the use of spices and the inseparable links between diet, health and medicine. It also looks at special foods for festivals, street foods and the splendour of Mughal feasts. This lavishly illustrated book gives a mouth-watering tour of India's regional cuisines, containing numerous recipes to interest and excite readers."--Publisher's website.
