This event kicks off a series of dinners designed especially for members of the Culinary Historians of Chicago and Rogers Park West Ridge Historical Society (Historical Society) featuring the cuisines of different regions of India, including Hyderabad, Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala, Maharashtra and perhaps more.

At the first dinner we’ll enjoy the delicious cuisine of Hyderabad, the capital city of the state of Telangana on the southeast coast. Its cuisine is a combination of grain and vegetable dishes of the south and the rich meat-based cuisine of the north. Hyderabad is famous for its biryani and desserts.

The collaborative series is organized by Culinary Historians of Chicago and Historical Society member Colleen Taylor Sen, the author of Curry: A Global History; Feasts and Fasts: A History of Food in India, Pakoras, Paneer, Pappadums: A Guide to Indian Restaurant Menus, and many other books and articles on Indian cuisine.
