In the preface of her heartfelt book, Shobhaa De pledges not to be arrogant, pedantical, or deep.
This is what the most well-known Indian novelist in history promises in her celebration book for turning 75, which is filled with amusing tales about her favourite topics: food, friends, and family.
An chronicle of Shobhaa's encounters with food, people, and places over the course of a year, Insatiable: The book My Hunger for Life serves as a regular reminder of the surprising and delightful connections that may be made via eating.
Jaipur's lassi is the greatest there is. Kasundi-related diseases. interviews with a food-related Nobel Prize recipient. The Willingdon Club's specifics in Mumbai. M.F. Husain consumed his final supper, or khwaish, while he lay dying. Tadpoles should only be eaten in this manner.A classic fish dish from Bengal can go wrong in a variety of ways. These stories, along with many more, take us to food festivals around the country and abroad, to the tables of politicians, artists, and celebrities, to parties and social gatherings, and, eventually, to her home, where food is constantly the major subject of conversation.
Literary "Insatiable," according to author Shobhaa De, was a transformative writing experience. The entire piece emits an unexpected "newness." I wrote it on the fly of the moment in a cheerful, irreverent mood to mark and honour a very memorable birthday. It is a sincere, open, and intimate description of my atypical existence, including my intense love of food and the exuberant, intensely sentimental family gatherings we have experienced over the years that have featured khaana-peena. The tempestuous friendships that have enriched and challenged me for 75 years are also fondly remembered. Simply do not stop me!
Poulomi Chatterjee, publisher of HarperCollins India, stated the following on the publication of Shobhaa De's most recent book: "It is an absolute pleasure for us at HarperCollins India to offer to readers Shobhaa De's most recent work. Shobhaa is renowned for her enjoyment of delectable food, engaging conversation, and enthralling anecdotes. She crafts a story around these concepts in Insatiable in the manner that has come to define her writing: with vigour, sincerity, and an abundance of biting humour and perceptiveness. From start to finish, this non fiction book is a joy, an inspiration, and a source of inspiration.
HarperCollins India's Senior Commissioning Editor "I'm pleased to be publishing one of India's most well-known authors—someone who I have revered over the years," Trisha Bora exclaims. Insatiable, on the other hand, is light and delicate like a perfectly cooked souffle, vibrant and perceptive like a flute of champagne, and profound like the hours before a downpour. Shobhaa brings us inside her home and shares with us the talks she has there, on her travels, and during social occasions with her family. You won't want to put this excellent book down once you start reading it!
The firm publishes some of the finest writers from Harper Collins, the Indian Subcontinent and throughout the world, and its 10 labels have more over 2,000 works in print and digital media (about 200 new novels are released a year).
