Annapurna's Bounty: Indian Food Legends Retold

Description:

Mingling sweet, sour, and spicy notes, this inspiring retelling of diverse food legends from India, paired with delicious recipes, will feed mind, body, heart, and soul.

Annapurna, the Indian Goddess of Nourishment, presides over a rich harvest of stories reimagined for the twenty-first-century palate. Here, food manifests as ploy, bargain, symbolic communication, a bone of contention, a lesson, as it weaves through the lives of a cast of characters ― kings and commoners, witches and goddesses, gurus and bandits, refugees and travellers.

Each story is followed by a vegetarian recipe offered up by a character. Gathered from the four corners of India, there are well-known dishes like nourishing dal and irresistible mango lassi, novelties like avial and Bengali khichari, as well as a new twist on beloved foods, such as samosas with a peas and coconut filling.

Infused with humane values, expertly blending the timeless and the contemporary, the magical and the everyday, encompassing East, West, and the in-between, this fusion of fiction and food will delight and inspire.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was perfect for me

M.o.S. · July 11, 2025

I spent a lot of time in India with work and looked for books that gave me “A taste” of India. Now that I’m retired, I finally find the perfect book that has stories as well as recipes. This is a beautiful work and I love the recipes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Overall it is a good book if you are interested in Indian history

Thank you Netgalley, Dundurn Press, and Veena Gokhale for sending me this advanced review copy for free. I am leaving this review voluntarily.This book wasn't what I expected at all. I was expecting more deeply Indian lore, and more stories involving gods and legends, and not stories about colonizers.The stories were interesting, but very dry and sometimes hard to read. I did enjoy them though.The recipes were fantastic. Easy to read, and understand. I also appreciate the tips on where to find specific ingredients that are harder to come by in US grocery stores.I wish there had been some photos of the food, because I have no idea what these recipes are supposed to look like when they are finished.Overall it is a good book if you are interested in Indian history, but maybe not if you are looking specifically for a cookbook.

This was an enchanting book about Indian history told through recipes. I loved the illustrations as well as the lyrical stories. The recipes were excellent as well.The cover design alone did not live up to the book.
