I’ve been tracking publicly available press released on upcoming releases on *Publishers Marketplace* and wanted to share three new cookbooks focusing on regional South Asian (Desi) cuisine:

*Delhi: Food Histories, Recipes, Memories* by Priya Deshingkar  
ISBN: 9781800507845  
Publisher: Equinox Publishing  
US Publication Date: June 1, 2026

*Smoke, Rice, Water: Recipes and Stories from a Bengali Home* by Kishwar Chowdhury  
ISBN: 9781743799345  
Publisher: Hardie Grant Books  
US Publication Date: June 23, 2026

*Homestyle Bangladeshi Cooking: A Collection of Recipes from Korai Kitchen* by Nur-E Gulshan Rahman (Mother) and Nur-E Farhana Rahman (Daugther)  
Publisher: Abrams  
US Publication Date: Spring 2028 (Tentative)

While I intend to add *Delhi: Food Histories, Recipes, Memories* by Dr. Priya Deshingkar ji to my collection, I have decided to forgo the other two titles on Bengali cuisine. I believe that my current resources, specifically two books imported directly from Dhaka to California, provide the most authentic perspective on Bangladeshi culinary traditions from Professor Niaz Zaman and Mr. Shawkat Osman.

For those who typically prefer to browse without posting, I encourage you to join the conversation. Please share the cookbooks that have recently scintillated your interest and contribute to the ongoing development and ethos of the CookbookLovers subreddit.

"Delhi: Food Histories, Recipes, Memories" by Dr. Priya Deshingkar and "Smoke, Rice, Water: Recipes and Stories from a Bengali Home" by Kishwar Chowdhury
