This book bring us to a realization that food is not just about ingredients and recipes but it tells a story of how it was invented first hand. Excellent presentation of historic material in a simple language. A must read for all south Indians (who knows Tamil).

Very good book on Tamil food. Includes details about foods that have vanished from the face of the earth. It will help to revive the foods that have gone underground.
