Pritha Sen, 66, has spent years travelling to villages across Bengal and beyond to document forgotten food ingredients, traditional recipes, and the cultural stories embedded in regional cuisine. She records indigenous knowledge about nutrition and traditional cooking methods—including use of peels, stalks, and wild ingredients—and shares this culinary heritage through pop-ups, restaurants, consultancies, and written documentation.
