‘Food and culture go hand in hand; as life moves on, we win some and we lose some. There are times where we have to learn to adapt, infusing our life with flavours. So far, my life – including my journey from the classroom to the restaurant – has been blessed with some very old as well as very new recipes of warmth and love. ‘Basic Indian cooking revolves around a healthy lifestyle, and in this wholesome book you will learn to cook old regional dishes like Malvani chicken (from Maharashtra on India’s west coast), Mangshore jhol lamb (from Kolkata on the east coast), Laccha paratha (from the north), Kerala lamb curry (from the south coast), as well as modern fusion dishes from the global food village, such as Mexican chimichangas, Arabic ouzi, Mexican chaat, butter chicken pizza and spiced pesto fried rice – all with an Indian twist. ‘It has been an absolute pleasure and source of pride to share the tips and tricks I have inherited to make Indian cooking an experience for you, whether you are cooking alone or with your family and friends.’ CHEF SEEMA DALVI

A political party worker who produces crowds for electoral rallies. A “prison specialist” who serves other people’s prison sentences in exchange for a large fee. An engineer who is able to secure otherwise impossible building permits. These and other dealmakers—whose behind-the-scenes expertise and labor are often invisible—have an intrinsic role in the city's functioning and can be indispensable for navigating everyday life in Bombay, one of the world’s most complex, dynamic, and populous cities. Bombay Brokers collects profiles of thirty-six such “brokers.” Written by anthropologists, artists, city planners, and activists, these character sketches bring into relief the paradox that these brokers’ knowledge and labor are simultaneously invisible yet essential for Bombay’s functioning. Their centrality reveals the global-scale paradoxes and gaps that these brokers mediate and bridge. In this way, Bombay Brokers prompts a reconsideration of what counts as legitimate and valuable knowledge and labor while offering insight into changing structures of power in Bombay and around the globe.

The popular narrative of "globesity" posits that the adoption of Western diets is intensifying obesity and diabetes in the Global South and that disordered metabolisms are the embodied consequence of globalization and excess. In Metabolic Living Harris Solomon recasts these narratives by examining how people in Mumbai, India, experience the porosity between food, fat, the body, and the city. Solomon contends that obesity and diabetes pose a problem of absorption between body and environment. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in Mumbai's home kitchens, metabolic disorder clinics, food companies, markets, and social services, he details the absorption of everything from snack foods and mangoes to insulin, stress, and pollutants. As these substances pass between the city and the body and blur the two domains, the onset and treatment of metabolic illness raise questions about who has the power to decide what goes into bodies and when food means life. Evoking metabolism as a condition of contemporary urban life and a vital political analytic, Solomon illuminates the lived predicaments of obesity and diabetes, and reorients our understanding of chronic illness in India and beyond.
