Those Delicious Letters by Sandeepa Mukherjee Datta

From the author of Bong Mom’s Cookbook, comes another deliciously compelling read

Shortly after she turns 40, Shubha starts receiving traditional Bengali recipes from a mysterious grandmother in Calcutta. Soon she is whipping up one delicacy after another, but while the world loves her food, her husband does not. As she delves deeper into her roots and takes a closer look at her own life, Shubha must figure out that one ideal recipe to balance it all. In Those Delicious Letters these recipes drive the plot ahead, making for a mouth-watering read, tinged with the flavours of nostalgia. Sandeepa Mukherjee Dutta’s popular blog, ‘Bong Mom’s CookBook’, is a one-stop destination for authentic Bengali recipes, some of which come with modern improvisations.
