Banerji’s first book was published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 1991. Tracing the Bengali seasons, from the long, hot days of spring and summer through the joy of the first rains of the monsoon followed by the terror of ruinous floods, on to the golden harvest of autumn and finally to the delicious coolness of the tropical winter, the author presents a panoramic view of the food, festivals, and rituals of Bengali life. Intimate and evocative, Life and Food in Bengal is a rich narrative full of anecdotes, folklore, history, literary references, and, of course, classic Bengali recipes.
