Welcome to a ‘slim pickings’ edition of Lit Pickers. In these short editions we answer some burning questions that have been asked by you, the reader, and joining us is the lovely Mae Thomas.

In this episode, we bring you a tasting menu of books, ranging from recipe collections, memoirs, novels about trippy meals, history of everyday ingredients and more. Whether you're looking for a gift for a home chef or a food nerd, there's something here to tickle pretty much every tastebud. 

You can find Supriya Nair at @supriyanair, Deepanjana Pal at @dpanjana and Mae Thomas at @maemariyam on Instagram. This is a Maed In India Production; check us out at www.maedinindia.in.
