Collected from ten districts across Eastern and Northeastern India, this carefully curated volume brings together indigenous recipes shared directly by community members in their own words and imagery. Each dish tells a story—of monsoon harvests, forest ingredients, traditional kitchens, and knowledge passed down through generations. This 120-page hardbound edition, encased in a protective sleeve, is thoughtfully designed to honor both the recipes and the people behind them. The book documents regional ingredients, cooking practices, and food traditions that are rarely represented in digital spaces. Whether you are a culinary explorer, researcher, chef, or simply someone who values authentic food narratives, this book offers a meaningful journey into India’s diverse food heritage. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sh-color-black sh-color\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sh-color-black sh-color\"\u003eFor international shipping queries, please email curation@champaca.in.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Karya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42290369986595,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/files\/book-preview-1.png?v=1776751218","url":"https:\/\/champaca.in\/products\/from-hands-that-feed-a-karya-anthology","provider":"Champaca Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
