These are the sorts of meals that form the backbone of Khalil Akhtar’s day-to-day kitchen, the cuisine that he turns to when he doesn’t know what to make, when guests are coming, or when his fridge is bare. “Most of us have (or at least, had) a cuisine like this,” writes Akhtar. “Our parents or grandparents had dishes that lived in the very walls of the kitchen. One meal spoke to the next, last night’s leftovers could be coaxed into a meal for today, and the same predictable ingredients could be bent to dozens of different whims.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Eat with Your Hands\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003euses Akhtar’s relationship with Punjabi cuisine to offer a warm, open-minded examination of our intertwined relationships with food and home, in the process orienting readers toward understanding the values and knowledge available in their own kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeaving together recipes, practical tips for organizing a kitchen, and memories of the Punjabi cuisine cooked by Akhtar’s family across generations,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Eat with Your Hands\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a rich, enlightening, and entertaining read on how to cook at home with a resourcefulness found in heritage, experience, and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback \/ 238 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished 6 October 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KHALIL AKHTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48227133260017,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/3768\/7537\/files\/HowToEatwithYourHands-Akhtar.png?v=1780075322","url":"https:\/\/goodegg.ca\/products\/how-to-eat-with-your-hands","provider":"Good Egg","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
