Climbing the Mango Trees

Author : Madhur Jaffrey
Genre : Non Fiction - Memoirs
Picked by : Janaki

Madhur Jaffrey's memoirs talk less of her childhood in an affluent joint family, and more of the foods she ate. There's daulat ki chaat and paranthey wali gali. There's kulfi and achaar and chaat from the streets. But all these poigant Delhi memories are also spiked with picnic lunches, and dinners with western influence far ahead of it's times.
