Flavours of Yore

Welcome to FlavoursofYore. This blog is all about rediscovering and celebrating Odisha’s rich, hidden culinary heritage. This region’s vibrant flavours and age-old recipes are too often forgotten. Here, we dive deep into the stories behind Odisha’s long-lost dishes, bringing them back to life and onto your screens.

Odisha’s food is as diverse and fascinating as its culture. Yet, many of its traditional recipes have slipped away with time, tucked into the memories of elders or old, tattered cookbooks. This blog is my humble attempt to revive those forgotten flavours—recipes that were once the heartbeat of Odia kitchens but are now rarely seen or heard of.

I’m not here to give you cooking tutorials (though there will be delicious dishes to discover!). Instead, Flavoursofyore is about the stories: the history behind the meals, the cultural significance of ingredients, and the memories that food stirs up. You’ll find recipes that speak to Odisha’s heritage, festival dishes, and everyday meals, all researched with care and shared with love.

Whether you’re an Odia food lover looking to reconnect with your roots, a curious cook wanting to explore something new, or just a lover of food stories, I hope you’ll find something to savour here. Let’s journey together through Odisha’s culinary past, keeping these treasures alive for future generations.

Thanks for stopping by, and I can’t wait to share this flavorful adventure with you!
