Author: Nazmul Kadir
Narrator: Clara McDonald
Venture to the sun-warmed coasts of southeastern Bangladesh, where the Bay of Bengal meets bold flavors, ancient trade routes, and generations of culinary wisdom. East of the Bay is a deliciously immersive audiobook that captures the essence of Chattogram’s vibrant food culture—its smoky grilled fish, tangy pickles, coconut-laced curries, and spice-rich street eats—while reaching into the diverse flavors of the coastal and hill regions beyond.
Author Nazmul Kadir brings heartfelt storytelling and deep regional knowledge to every recipe, weaving tales of fishermen’s mornings, market hauls, and ancestral kitchens. Whether it's Mezbani beef steeped in tradition, or the fiery, citrus-kissed chutneys of the hill tracts, this audiobook serves as both a rich cultural narrative and a practical guide for home cooks.
With the warm, evocative narration of Clara McDonald, you'll hear the sizzle of mustard oil, the call of the sea, and the heartbeat of a land where food is memory, ritual, and celebration.
Perfect for listeners who love heritage cooking, coastal cuisines, and a taste of Bangladesh with every chapter.
