Most of my peers delved into cafeteria and fast food their first semester in the States. By the second semester though, they'd all gotten homesick for genuine Bengali food, and had had their mothers mail them Siddiqua Kabir's cookbook.
I have a copy of that book, but never used it. I just did not like her calling everyone তুমি. She might have been an অধ্যাপিকা, but many nani/dadis also used the book. Now that she is much older, তুমি would not have been so unpalatable.
