New Delhi [India], June 5: "We don't just inherit stories. We inherit flavors." In her vibrant new book, Flirting with Flavor: A Collection of Family Recipes, author Anu Shankar invites readers on a profoundly unique culinary journey as she breathes new life into the heirloom dishes of Punganur, Chikmagalur, and Hubli. Inspired by her grandmother, Ajji, the book is a heartfelt homage to the matriarchs whose wisdom, love, and unforgettable meals have shaped entire communities.

What makes Flirting with Flavor distinctive is its thoughtful balance between storytelling and practical guidance. It speaks to families preserving time-honored traditions, home cooks seeking authentic regional flavors, and readers who value the cultural stories behind every recipe.

Shankar brilliantly translates decades of unwritten, "pinch-of-this" oral traditions into precise, foolproof instructions for the modern kitchen. From the ultimate comfort of ragi mudde (millet dumplings) to the delicate spice of mulgai palya (brinjal curry) and the festive Punganur pulao, this collection proves that the most profound flavors come from the simplest roots. It is a must-read celebration of culture, memory, and the powerful stories that unfold when people gather around the table.

Through carefully curated dishes, the author reminds readers that food is not just nourishment--it is the ultimate inheritance. Flirting with Flavor: A Collection of Family Recipes offers readers an opportunity to recreate cherished moments, reconnect with their culinary roots, and experience the vibrant traditions of Indian home cooking at their own tables.
