Starting from kebab platters to biriyani 48th International Kolkata Book Fair at Boi Mela Prangan, Karunamoyee Salt Lake brought some mouth melting cuisines which is enchanting every reader’s taste buds.

There is a separate corner for all the epicures.  A food paradise is dedicated for everyone in the book fair where everyone goes crazy after the authentic flavours of the Mughals. This place is a perfect blend of cultures with pages and flavours. IKBF is a place where the smell of books and delicious foods reaches the nostrils of the people. The flavours of the food takes people to Mughlai coma.

While loitering at the different Saranis, hunger diverts the mood of the readers from books to cooks, and then they invade the hidden food corner where there are variety of foods are available starting from Biriyani to Kebabs to Mughlai Parathas varying from different price ranges. Every year book fair comes with something innovative food items, just like that in this 48th International Kolkata Book Fair it stepped in with different kinds of kebabs from malai kebabs to galoutee kebabs which are mouth melting. People come here to taste the different books as well as foods. As the spoon full of biriyani gets inside the mouth the flavours of different spices burst in their mouth.

Kolkata is “the city of joy”& “city of love” where people loves food and gets joy by reading different books. At the end everyone gets back to their pavilion with happy tummy and heavy bag full of new books.
