Made in Bangladesh: Recipes and Stories from a Home Kitchen — Taking you through the six Bangladeshi seasons – summer, monsoon, autumn, late autumn, winter and spring – with warming flavours and memories, Dina Begum's Made in Bangladesh teaches modern classics and age-old recipes to home cooks across the world. Puchka (potato & chickpea filled pastry shells with tamarind sauce), Tenga (light & sour fish stew with green tomatoes), Narkel diye murghi (steamed chicken in a spiced coconut paste), Tehari (aromatic beef and rice with mustard oil & chillies) and Patishapta (rice crepes with a cardamom rice cream) are just a few of the enticing dishes she shares.

Dina also offers advice on pantry essentials, a range of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free recipes, and sample menus for feeding a crowd, celebrating how food brings community and festivity. A unique visual feast with beautiful food and location photography that captures the atmosphere and vibrancy of Bangladeshi food.
