Kolkata by Heirloom Cities edited by Anindya Sundar Basu and Madhushree Basu Roy as Top 6 books this year by CondeNast Traveller
Following its 2025 debut edition on Mumbai, Heirloom Cities returns with a latest volume on Kolkata, a lavishly designed exploration of the city’s food culture and culinary history. Edited by Madhushree Basu Roy and Anindya Basu, the book traces how colonial trade, migration, and local traditions shaped Kolkata’s kitchens, street food and eating habits through essays, recipes, photography, and illustration. Conceived as a cultural archive and collectible object, it brings together writers, historians, and designers to document one of India’s most vibrant food cities.
