Home chef Kalpana Talpade, known for her venture Kalpana's Kitchen that celebrates the flavours of Pathare Prabhu community, has now launched a recipe book. A collection of close to 200 traditional recipes that are packed with distinct flavours and a lot more love, Kalpana's Kitchen Pathare Prabhu Recipe Book celebrates the culinary heritage of one of the oldest communities of Mumbai.

We caught up with the chef, who shares, "We are a small community, much smaller than the Parsis. While the city is a melting pot of cultures that draws in communities from far and wide to make it their home, our community was lost for a long time."
