Can it be classified by region, or religion, orritual? What are the culinary commonalities across the Indian subcontinent?Do we Indians have a sense of collective self when it comes to cuisine? Or isthe pluralism in our food habits and choices the only identity we have everneeded?Turmeric Nation is an ambitious and insightful project which answers thesequestions, and then quite a few more. Through a series of fascinating essays-delving into geography, history, myth, sociology, film, literature and personalexperience-Shylashri Shankar traces the myriad patterns that have formedIndian food cultures, taste preferences and cooking traditions.
