# Smoke, Rice, Water - Recipes and Stories from a Bengali Home by Kishwar Chowdhury (Hardcover)

**In** _**Smoke Rice Water**_**, Kishwar Chowdhury shares 100 recipes from across the Bay of Bengal and its surrounds - a vibrant, underexplored region that spans India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.**

With warmth and clarity, Kishwar invites readers into her home kitchen to discover traditional techniques, bold flavors and the foodways of over 200 million people - from street snacks and Mughal court dishes to river fish curries, tropical fruits and the famous sweets of Bengal.

Drawing on her experience as a second-generation migrant, Kishwar brings cultural knowledge, personal history and a fresh perspective to the table -- honouring her Bengali heritage while making its recipes accessible and deeply satisfying for modern home cooks. _Smoke Rice Water_ is more than a collection of recipes -- it's an invitation to cook, to connect, and to see the Bay anew.
