Synopsis

India's food is one of her most remarkable features: its countless tastes and styles reflect the nation's history, enduring traditions, and diversity of people and place.

But it is changing at a rapid rate beyond anyone's imagination.

Eating the Present, Tasting the Future ventures 'off the plate' to journey through India's contemporary foodscape to discover the myriad forces transforming what, how and where Indians are producing, trading and eating their food. At a time when food and our relationship with it are topics of increasing global interest, this is a timely, and important, work, offering unique insight into a complex society.
