Description
This English translation of Marathi original first published in 1943 which has gone into several reprints in Indian languages contains typical and popular Sara swat recipes.
Saraswat cuisine has uniqueness and individuality of its own, in the names of recipes, ingredients, style of preparation, distinctive occasions for such preparations, and of course, the flavor and taste.
‘Rasachandrika’ is one of the classics among cookery books in Marathi. Generations of housewives have begun their culinary career by reading and following this book.
Now the secrets of Saraswat cookery would be available to a much wider readership through this English edition. Housewives will find in the book a large range of recipes in an easy-to-follow manner.
A special feature of this book is a short but important section on home remedies which have made the life of many a housewife much more trouble-free.
