Shawkat Osman, a passionate lover of Russian novels and Suchitra Sen films, once loved to go out on hunts, but only to accompany his friends. He had not yet discovered his culinary skills then but volunteered to cook for the group. Cooking became one of his passionate hobbies ever since. Not soon after, people began to admire his skills and appreciated his delicious indulgence. One such admirer, Neema Rahman, a performer/director/producer, invited Osman to host a television cookery show. Sometime later Sara Zaker arranged a cookery show on Kolkata-based Tara TV. He fondly named his show Khunti Korai (the two essential utensils needed by a Bengali cook). He has since published his recipes in many magazines.
Osman is a businessman living in Dhaka. This is his first book.
