Much ado about masalas—a deep dive into Indian Cuisine Come join us as a maven of masala, Nandita Godbole, explores India’s complex and delicious regional cuisines through its culinary backbone – its masalas (which, by the way, are a vast number of spice mixtures ground into a paste or powder for use in Indian cooking). Nandita will be dishing out a buffet of savory information on the micro cuisines of India, giving us a healthy serving of geopolitical histories that have shaped regional food identities. And she’ll liberally season her talk with her own culinary anecdotes. Nandita is drawing her story from her newly published, seventh cookbook, Masaleydaar: Classic Spice Indian Blends. She says it’s her “love letter” to the micro cuisines of India, The book explores nearly 50 spice blends and offers more than 100 recipes. Our own Culinary Historians member, Colleen Sen, an internationally renowned Indian authority herself, wrote the forward to the book. She calls it “a brilliant culmination of a lifetime of research, practice, thinking and talking about Indian food, an encyclopedia of information about spices and Indian food in general that can serve as a valuable reference work.” Nandita Godbole: instagram: @currycravings My Website: www.currycravingskitchen.com Instagram (food): www.Instagram.com/currycravings Instagram (ceramics): www.Instagram.com/Mrttika_bynandita Digital book is available on Kindle: https://bit.ly/3EhhwJw GooglePlay/Android: https://bit.ly/3Pk039W iBooks: https://bit.ly/45tPh6p Print books can be purchased directly from my website: www.currycravingskitchen.com/inventory I have uploaded the presentation itself into Google Drive, it is here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1tbjdZy-HQEvon7vWYV4G6JKAtCNbCkSP/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=109443269166842455632&rtpof=true&sd=true Recorded via Zoom on August 30, 2023 CONNECT WITH CULINARY HISTORIANS OF CHICAGO ✔ MEMBERSHIP https://culinaryhistorians.org/membership/ ✔ EMAIL LIST http://culinaryhistorians.org/join-our-email-list/ ✔ S U B S C R I B E https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Y0-9lTi1-JYu22Bt4_-9w ✔ F A C E B O O K https://www.facebook.com/CulinaryHistoriansOfChicago ✔ PODCAST 2008 to Present https://culinaryhistorians.org/podcasts/ By Presenter https://culinaryhistorians.org/podcasts-by-presenter/ ✔ YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Y0-9lTi1-JYu22Bt4_-9w ✔ W E B S I T E https://www.CulinaryHistorians.org
