In Taste of Tradition Exploring Karnataka Cuisine in 20 Dishes*, chef Anish takes readers on a culinary journey across the diverse and vibrant state of Karnataka. As a chef deeply passionate about cooking, delves into the essence of regional cuisine, drawing inspiration from my travels to remote villages, bustling cities, and serene coastal towns. Each recipe in the book is more than just a set of instructions—it's a story that unfolds the history, culture, and traditions behind the dish. From the spicy Bisi Bele Bath of the Mysore region to the coastal delights of Mangalore, every page offers a glimpse into Karnataka’s rich food heritage. My narrative highlights the personal connections he made with local artisans, home cooks, and farmers along the way, giving each dish an added layer of authenticity. The stories accompanying the recipes evoke a deep respect for Karnataka’s culinary traditions while offering modern insights into how these dishes can be recreated in today’s kitchens. The book not only serves as a cookbook but also as a cultural memoir, blending the love of food with a sense of adventure and discovery, making it a perfect read for food enthusiasts and explorers alike.
