Come celebrate Canadian Multiculturalism Day with author Veena Gokhale. She will read from her 3rd book of literary, short fiction, Annapurna’s Bounty, Indian Food Legends Retold. Registration.

This book is “ingeniously designed as a banquet for the body and the mind: each of its ten chapters offers a tale and a recipe from various eras and regions of India. Men and women, divinities, demons and animals are the heroes of these vivid and colourful stories, over which floats the heady scent of mangoes and spices.

-Frédéric Charbonneau, author, L’École de la gourmandise

The book reflects the multicultural, multi-lingual, multi-ethnic and multi-religious history and legendary literature of India. Plus it’s delicious food! Annapurna is the Indian goddess of nourishment.

Discussion to follow. Everyone welcome.
