Book Explores Culinary Traditions of India's Prime Ministers from Nehru to Modi
A new book, 'The Prime Minister's Table,' explores the culinary preferences and state banquet traditions of India's prime ministers from Nehru to Modi. Drawing on interviews with families, chefs, and officials, it highlights how menus reflected each leader's tastes and politics, such as Nehru's simple palate and Indira Gandhi's preference for biryani. The book aims to humanize these leaders by sharing food stories and family memories, avoiding political controversy, including the recent BRICS summit's vegetarian menu debate.
