Café Lockdown: Eating through an extraordinary time!

by Kasturi DasGupta

"Only a calamity will force me to cook," I declared.
"Be careful what you wish for!" Mamma warned.

When Kasturi Dasgupta's Indian hometown goes into lockdown, she becomes a captive of her own family. Subject to their constant suggestions that she lose weight and eat more healthily, Kasturi is faced with a choice: couch potato or chef?

She chooses the latter.

Fueled by her love of travel, Kasturi decides to explore the globe...one recipe at a time.

But cooking in the midst of a global pandemic is far from easy. With supplies dwindling by the week, Kasturi must turn to different cultures and unusual flavor combinations to utilize her limited ingredients to their full potential.

As Kasturi starts to share her creations with colleagues and friends via social media, her home kitchen steadily gathers momentum: Caf? Lockdown is born.

Part cookbook, part memoir, Caf? Lockdown chronicles Kasturi's culinary escapades with a wry sense of humor and an infectious enthusiasm for cooking. Mouth-watering recipes are surrounded by hilarious family banter and gentle self-discovery, inviting readers to re-create the Dasgupta's adventurous family dinners in their own kitchens.

From rich Russian borscht, to spicy Jamaican beans, to the subtlety of Japanese udon noodles, revel in the diversity of global cuisine as you travel through 21 countries from the comfort of your dinner plate.
