Dishoom by Shamil Thakrar and Kavi Thakra (Grade - D)
Dishoom: From Bombay with Love by Shamil Thakrar, Kavi Thakrar, and Naved Nasir is a richly illustrated cookbook inspired by the Irani cafés, street food, and nostalgic culinary culture of Bombay (Mumbai). It combines recipes with stories and a highly visual journey through South Bombay, creating more than just a conventional cookbook.
The book contains 100+ recipes from Dishoom's much-loved restaurant menu, including Black Daal, Bacon Naan Roll, Okra Fries, Jackfruit Biryani, Chicken Ruby, Lamb Raan, Masala Chai, coolers, and cocktails. The recipes reflect the diverse influences of Parsi, Muslim, Hindu, and Christian food traditions associated with Bombay's historic Irani cafés.
Alongside the recipes, readers are taken on a day-long culinary tour of South Bombay, visiting places and experiences associated with the city's food culture, from morning chai and omelettes to Mohammed Ali Road, Chowpatty, and Nariman Point. The photography by Haarala Hamilton further captures the atmosphere and character of Bombay.
The 2019 Bloomsbury hardcover edition has 400 pages and ISBN 9781408890677. It is particularly suited to readers interested in Indian cuisine, Mumbai food culture, restaurant cooking, street food, Irani cafés, and contemporary interpretations of traditional Indian dishes.
