At Navjivan Trust Hall in Ahmedabad on Thursday, a unique book was released that documented “foodways, recipes and Adivasi culinary traditions” in six northeastern districts of Gujarat – Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Aravalli, Mahisagar, Panchmahals and Dahod.

The book, ‘Silent Cuisines’, has featured more than 50 heirloom receipes like pumpkin kheer, sun-dried pumpkin peel curry, stir-fried moringa flowers and poached masala eggs.

The book is written by Sheetal Bhatt and published by Disha, a voluntary organisation headed by Paulomee Mistry.

The book was written based on field work spanning over a year and half in the six districts. It was released in the presence of former Rajya Sabha MP Madhusudan Mistry.
