I have a habit of purchasing cookbooks mainly for the enjoyment of reading them.. form the first ever Bengali cookbook Pak-Pranali (which surprisingly lists Paneer Ghebar as a recipe), Pragya Sundari Devi's book to the ultra-modern 10 minutes Microwave cookings including Shatarupa, Sadhana Mukherjee, Supriya Devi, Marsha Mehran..name them and chance it that I own it as well as frequenting blogs. All of them are sheer delight to read however none helped me to get over my "unpredictable cook" s...

Such good fun to follow the journey from his tentative student efforts to confident adult cook! Mr. Majumdar's dealings with restaurant owners, shop keepers, fish vendors, friends, all attest to his warm humor as he seeks the tastes, then the ingredients, then the competence to prepare (quickly) meals that are truly a pleasant surprise.
I have tried the curried cauliflower and the chicken biryani...both easy and delicious.
( I needed help to convert the grams to ounces...a minor obstacle)

If you are a die-hard Sachin fan, craving to know every detail about him,
You would also love to know the favorite dish of Sachin Tendulkar and the recipe for it!!

Grab your copy copy of ‘Cooking on the Run’, by Boria Majumdar,

The book, like a perfect meal, is a compilation of all the tastes one would ideally encounter in a balanced diet and the best part it has all the crucial cooking tips you need to survive in minimal time.

From keeping an eye on cover drives and bouncers to cooking, its really interesting. I have covered many tours with the writer and i know that how hard working he is, still getting time for cooking shows his interest in kitchen :-) You can see Mr. Boria Majumdar taking hard lines against the players on TIMES NOW- but i have seen him asking What do you want to eat- i will cook for you. I congratulate him for coming out from his fortay and writing such an interesting book. I was there for the b...

This is more than a cook book - like all the best ones it's also a memoir and perceptive whistlestop tour of the author's encounters with food and cooks on his many travels. In his typically ebullient and engaging style Boria describes his passion for food without sparing us the hilarious details of his early disasters in the kitchen - like his attempt to cook an omelette in an unheated pan. The beauty of the recipes (and there are many) is their simplicity. They are not haute cuisine but de...

What a fantastic, unexpected and entertaining new book from Boria Majumdar! Living in Oxford myself, it was hilarious to think of a younger Boria dashing through the Oxford streets, alternating between the various colourful kebab vans that Oxford’s city centre has to offer– he’s right though, they are great. I must visit this Kowloon House he mentions in his Debut and try the king prawn fried rice and king prawn in chilli and garlic…

As someone who has a complete inability to cook anything w...

Cooking on the Run breaks the norm of a usual cook book that we all have read so far. Its unique in its own way. It's a book for you, me and many others who struggle to cook even a basic breakfast leave aside a meal. The recipes mentioned in the book are simple, something that we all can attempt to cook & trust me you will not go wrong. Being a vegetarian I did try a couple of them and it is just as simple in the kitchen as it has been mentioned in the book. Most of the recipes are stuff that...

We have seen Boria Majumdar a seasoned sports historian speak and write passionately about sports and earning kudos with his no-holds barred comments. With Cooking on the Run, Boria delves into his other passion that he has developed while travelling across the globe – Cooking. Being a Bengali and a foodie it was only but natural that many of the mouth-watering Bengali dishes along with the ways to cook them find their way in this book. A must and engrossing read for men who travel around the...

I am a 'cook fast' and 'eat faster' kind of mom! Working mothers should thank Boria for thinking of writing a book such as this. The books, besides living up to it's name, also is a kitchen standby for busy cooks - both men and women. Thus it effortlessly diminishes the boundaries between sexes and allows us to feel one in the kitchen.

The recipes are workable, speedy and let you choose and create a complete dinner menu if you'd want. So, they are as good to entertain friends while sipping...
