Get Food From The Shell!: Creative Cooking with Vegetable Peels, Zero-Waste Recipes & Corona-Era Food Memories

In uncertain times, every ingredient becomes precious. Get Food From The Shell! is a warm, emotional, and practical collection of stories and recipes inspired by the Corona era — where survival met creativity inside the kitchen. This book shows how delightful dishes can be made from things we often throw away: vegetable peels, fruit rinds, and everyday leftovers. From Coconut Butter Barfi to Watermelon Peel Shrimp Bahari and Stranger Paramanna, the recipes combine Bengali home-style cooking with zero-waste wisdom. Along with the dishes, the book carries memories of mothers’ kitchens, struggle, love, and the joy of turning scraps into flavour. A complete starter-to-dessert journey made from ingredients once considered useless. If you enjoy sustainable cooking, nostalgic food writing, or innovative Indian recipes — this book will inspire you to cook differently and think differently. View Less
