This book marks a decade of a column that appears every Monday in The Hindu's Metro Plus, Madras edition. Madras Miscellany has, over that decade, created an awareness and a greater appreciation of the significant past of Madras and of the events and the people who over the years made Madras "the first city of modern India", a description of the City the writer of the column, S.Muthiah, never tires of reiterating. Over a 1500 or so items that appeared in the 514 columns published during Madras Miscellany's first decade appear in the book in three sections:'People', 'Places' and 'Potpourri', the last named being everything else that doesn't fit into the other two sections. And in them there develops a rather comprehensive story of Madras over its nearly 375 years of history. In sum, this is a book for anyone interested in the development of Madras and its considerable contribution to modern India.

<p>Vikas Khanna?s culinary journey started in Amritsar, but the city of Mumbai has also played an important role in his evolution as an arbiter of dining taste. This book is his tribute to Mumbai, which lays on the table a smorgasbord of delicious food options: Maharashtrian, Parsi, Gujarati, Konkan, street food and so much more. Food that is as multi-flavoured as the city itself. In the year that Khanna lived in the city, working at The Leela Kempinski, he explored and experienced all these cuisines. As he says, it was a period that would benefit him in the kitchen in the years to come. In Savour Mumbai, he visits some of his favourite restaurants and eateries, selects their signature dishes, helpfully modifying and adapting their recipes into a form that will be a boon to the home cook.</p>
