Pangat, a Feast: Food and Lore from Marathi Kitchens by Saee Koranne-Khandekar is a comprehensive exploration of Maharashtrian cuisine, food traditions, and culinary heritage. The book combines more than 200 traditional recipes with stories, anecdotes, cooking techniques, regional ingredients, and insights into the many communities that make up Maharashtra's food culture.

Rather than presenting Maharashtra as having one uniform cuisine, Khandekar explores its different regional and community-based food traditions, including those of Khandesh, Vidarbha, Konkan, Marathwada and Desh. The recipes range from Kolhapuri mutton sukka and thecha to chakolya, karanji, chutneys, pickles, bhakri, puran poli and traditional sweets.

The book also includes dedicated sections on masalas, chutneys, pickles, salads and raitas, vegetables, lentils, rice, one-pot meals, feasting, fasting, desserts and accompaniments, making it both a recipe book and a cultural reference on Marathi food.
