How To Eat With Your Hands

How to Eat with Your Hands invites readers to rediscover the joy of building a personal, everyday cuisine — one rooted not in perfection, but in memory, resourcefulness, and tradition. Drawing on the Punjabi dishes that have sustained his family across generations, Khalil Akhtar weaves together recipes, practical kitchen wisdom, and personal stories to explore the enduring connections between food, culture, and home.

A familiar voice to CBC audiences for more than twenty years, Khalil has shared his passion for food as the creator and host of The Main Ingredient, through his nationally syndicated food column, and in cooking classes that celebrate the pleasures of home cooking.

More than a cookbook or a collection of essays, How to Eat with Your Hands is a thoughtful reflection on the meals that shape us in which he encourages readers to discover the knowledge that may already be present in their own kitchens.
