All of us need a little variety in the food that we eat every day. Educated housewives are increasingly called upon to provide different kinds of food at home. This keeps everyone happy in the family and there is also an element of surprise when the family members sit around the dining table. This is a handy book written by Ms. Shanti Samal that deals mostly with the Odia cuisine. However, the methods of preparing a variety of dishes that are popular in other states of India and overseas have also been discussed in this book.
