Recipes & Radiance: The Remarkable Story of Nevedita Kharbanda
|
Nevedita Kharbanda emerges as a multifaceted
personality, blending culinary passion with
pageantry. Her recently published cookbook is
more than just a collection of recipes—it's a
heartfelt memoir that captures the essence of her
grandmother's cherished kitchen traditions.
Beyond the culinary world, Kharbanda has made
her mark by winning the Marvelous Mrs India

radiance. Her journey eloquently bridges two
seemingly different worlds: the warmth of homecooked meals and the glamour of the stage.
Reflecting on her path, Kharbanda credits her
success to the unwavering support of her family,
the foundational experiences from her college
years, and the sisterhood represented by her Elsa
community.

Butter: Murder, Misogyny, and the Mystery of Food
What happens when food meets murder and societal critique? That’s the premise
of Butter, a thought-provoking novel by Japanese author Asako Yuzuki, which
took center stage at our recent Book Reading Club session. Inspired by the
infamous case of Kanae Kijima—convicted of killing three of her male lovers—the
book sparked a lively and engaging discussion among attendees.
The novel follows journalist Riko Machida as she investigates the reclusive and
enigmatic Manako Kajii, unraveling layers of misogyny, fatphobia, childhood
trauma, and societal expectations. Through her interactions with Kajii, Riko not
only seeks to understand the motivations behind Kajii’s crimes but also confronts
her own perceptions of food, gender roles, and the power dynamics between the
sexes.
Blending elements of crime fiction, procedural investigation, and food literature,
Butter challenged the audience to reflect on their relationship with food, identity,
and societal pressures. The riveting conversation brought fresh perspectives and
an appreciation for Yuzuki’s ability to weave complex themes into a compelling
narrative.
The session left everyone inspired, questioning norms, and eager for more such
literary deep-dives. With its mix of intellectual stimulation and camaraderie, the
Book Reading Club proved once again to be a space where stories spark
meaningful conversations and connections. We can’t wait to explore the next
thought-provoking read!
