The local flavour is palpable as you turn the pages, and what s more, you can actually reproduce these mouth-watering eatables with the help of the 46 detailed, authentic recipes provided.
“My favorite is “Street Food of India” by Sephi Bergerson, a photographer who lives in Delhi. In just 50 recipes and under 200 pages, Mr. Bergerson accomplishes the rare feat of capturing how people eat, not just what. He shows people eating, making and clamoring for the outdoor snacks that are nearly universal in India: cool lemonade spiked with cumin and salt, scalding hot sweet tea with ginger, potato cakes with vibrant herb chutneys.” Julia Moskin, The New York Times
