During this year's Carnival season in New Orleans, the Krewe da Bhan Gras has started distributing cookbooks featuring 18 South Asian family recipes alongside traditional carnival throws. This innovative gesture adds culinary culture to the festivities, reflecting the krewe's commitment to showcasing South Asian dance and cuisine. The tradition of throwing food items at Carnival celebrations has a long history, with other groups known for their unique giveaways.
Cookbooks are something new, according to Arthur Hardy, the founder of the Mardi Gras Guide, now in its 49th annual edition.
Food items have long been a favorite giveaway at the Carnival celebrations in New Orleans, with traditional items like decorated coconuts and MoonPies frequently thrown.
