Kolkata’s favourite foodie duo found themselves at one of the city’s most awaited cultural events, and the result was quite appetising. Mir Afsar Ali and Indrajit Lahiri from popular YouTube channel Foodka dropped by the Kolkata Book Fair 2022 at Central Park, Salt Lake in a day filled with exciting trivia about both books and food!
The duo first entered stall 463, where Food Kahini, authored by Lahiri, is on display. Mir also had a tete-a-tete with Publishers & Booksellers Guild general secretary Tridib Kr. Chattopadhyay about the fun aspects of boi mela. The day was, of course, incomplete without gorging on some biryani and kebabs, a ritual which almost every book-level keeps intact while visiting the festival.
