Belly Dancing : A Romp Through the World of Food

by Gouri Dange

Belly Dancing is a joyride on the highways and side-streets of the world of cooking, eating, and talking food. The 71 pithy pieces, cherry-picked from the writer’s hugely popular columns, are a many-flavoured, multi-layered exploration. From heritage recipes and celebrity stories to underdog treats and handy tips, there is something in this book for everyone. In Gouri Dange’s inimitable style, the writing ranges from the sublime to the informative to the outrageous. Readers are drawn as much into the exuberant world of food as they are invited inward, to access their own memories, emotions, foibles and triumphs. Doctors and other healers tell us that there is a gut-brain a deep connect, a constant interchange, between the workings of our tummies and our minds. The narratives in this book most certainly celebrate this fascinating nexus. Food for thought indeed!

[Mahalakshmi S · Rating 5 out of 5]

If I had to describe this book in one word, it would be scrumptious! There are six sections devoted to the author's witty writings about all things food and related. The seventh section features five enjoyable short stories with food playing a generous role. All in all, a true pleasure for a huge foodie and an even more voracious reader!
