'The Orissan' book explores Odisha's food, history, and memories

A woman named Pallavi Das was born into a family from Odisha, a place in India, but she grew up in faraway cities.

She always wondered about the home her family came from.

When her grandparents got old, she wanted to learn about her history.

So she wrote a book called 'The Orissan' with her dad and a chef.

The book is about Odisha's tasty food, old traditions, and family stories.

It shows how food can tell us how people lived and celebrated.

The writers read old books and talked to people who keep traditions alive.

They wanted to share the secret stories behind famous temples.

Pallavi hopes kids will feel proud of Odisha and tell its stories too.
