The Bangala Table: Flavors and Recipes from Chettinad

Chettinad cuisine is now making waves across the world. I stayed for 3 nights at the Bangala and was delighted to try the cuisine firsthand. Inspired me to buy the book

For anyone who has savoured the flavours of Chettinad and is looking to recreate them at home, this book is the go-to.

I simply cannot click the 5th Star as yet, because only two recipes from the host available have been tried out. The two tried out are Excellent - both non veg;the Chettinad Chicken & the mutton dish. Over a period of time, will try out the other recipes too. I love to read out the recipes & my cook dishes out the magic. The Book is very well produced & luckily I got it on Amazon - after failing to get it elsewhere.

The book that everyone should have at their home. Whatever we prepare as per the instruction, it will surely become a signature dish of us. I bought it last week. I have just made 4 dishes during the weekend. My family loved it. It is not only a book, it's an asset. Don't worry about the price, it's like one time investment. Food lovers, do buy it. The delivery was super fast and the packaging was awesome. A good cook should own it. So many secrets for the better cooking has been revealed in this book. The wet paste that the book has become the main ingredient in all my dishes now. I am good cook and love cooking using this book. Kudos to the author. Loved this book so much.

Great book. .wonderful chettinadu table is presented here . Play of spices is mesmerising. Long promised book is in our hands now . Thank you Mrs Meyappam .

If you are a good lover, this book is a great one to add in your collection

Very well curated book. I bought it prior to my visit and stay at the Bangala. The information in this book gave me an enriched connect with this heritage property and it's culinary traditions.

Very badly sent it was not in brand new shape, it's avert expensive book full of nothing special, waste of money. Plz don't buy .

We stayed at the Bangala in January. Recipes in the book worked wonderfully well in my kitchen and remind us of the wonderful fare in Chettinad and the Bangala. Thank you Mrs Meyyappan, Pandian, and of course Karuppiah. What a wonderful heritage.

We love this cookbook. Jim made a Chettinad lamb dish for our Christmas dinner party, to rave reviews! We have had the great good fortune to visit the Bangala twice in recent years, and we knew a cookbook was in the works. We have not been disappointed. The Chettinad history that is included is an edifying bonus. Any readers who visit southeast India and have the opportunity to enjoy a meal or a stay at this hotel should take it. The food is extraordinary, and the atmosphere, charming, comfortable, and Indian: The rooms feature Chettinad colors and crafts. If our luck holds, we hope we can visit the Bangala again. Cheers!

A pilgrimage through my ancient roots!
