Made in Bangladesh explores the delicious, yet underrepresented,
cuisine of Bangladesh in 75 tantalizing recipes.
With dishes from across the country's 8 regions, Dina Begum demonstrates
how achievable traditional Bangladeshi home cooking is in home kitchens
worldwide. Taking you through the six Bangladeshi seasons - summer,
monsoon, autumn, late autumn, winter, spring - with essays sharing
Bangladeshi traditions, you'll learn modern classics and age-old recipes,
including Puchka (potato & chickpea filled pastry shells with tamarind sauce),
Tenga (light & sour fish stew with green tomatoes), Narkel diye murghi
(steamed chicken in a spiced coconut paste), Tehari ( aromatic beef and rice
cooked with mustard oil & chillies) and Dhood puli pitha (coconut-stuffed rice
flour dumplings in molasses milk). Dina also offers advice on pantry
essentials, a range of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free recipes, and sample
menus for feeding a crowd, celebrating how food brings community and
festivity. Made in Bangladesh is a unique visual feast with beautiful food and
location photography that captures the atmosphere and vibrancy of
Bangladeshi food
