Cooking the Books with Gilly Smith

Dina Begum: Made in Bangladesh


Listen Later

This week, Gilly is with Dina Begum, whose book, Made in Bangladesh celebrates the food and folklore and of the old country which she left when she was four years old.

It was first book, Brick Lane which first opened the door on what was happening in the kitchen of our East End curry houses, and propelled her into pole position as authority on British Bangladeshi culture. Gilly explores with her why she chose to take us back to Bangladesh and what she wanted to find.


Check into Gilly's Substack to watch Dina's mum make paan.
