Jorasankho Thakurbari had Indian as well as French chefs  
The family members of the famous Jorasankho Thakurbari were great patrons of the art of cooking. They used to have oriental food at lunch and continental in the dinner. Not only were the ladies competent in cooking, the palace had Indian as well as French chefs in the kitchen. The third son of Maharshi Debendra Nath Tagore, Hemendra Nath, had a penchant to write and publish a book on cooking but could not quite take up the resolution. This task however received a shape by the

beautiful and talented princess Smt.Pragyasundari Bejbarua.Her whole life was dedicated to writing a book on Indian cookery, which perhaps has not found its proper recognition till date.

  Sri. Narendra nath Dutta (Vivekananda), established a "glutton club"

To uplift the status of "Kachuri" in the Bengali food menu, Shree Ramkrishna Paramhansa and his clan of devotees played a lead role. Swami.Vivekananda had a great appetite for this item and he himself used to prepare this delicacy. Famous Bengalis perhaps were always enthusiastic about food. Sri. Narendra nath Dutta (Vivekananda),

established a "glutton club" before he took the onus of propagating "Vedanta".
