Rudeness in Finesse

I was quite impressed by Vir Shagvi’s political columns long back and was curious to know that he was a foodie. When I picked the book from recipe section of a bookstore, I didn’t know that he was a celebrity foodie.

The book, a collection of his columns on food, is a light read. I needed it after a few heavy, emotion/theory packed books, to relax. It is different from the historical food books I have discussed here before. It is all about the present. It is more about restaurants and fine living that comes with food.
