Pragyasundari Devi

Her Amish O Niramish Ahar was a "significant" early cookbook in the Bengali language.

[4] She warned readers in this first volume the home cook that "Spending a lot of money is no guarantee for good food," as she encouraged the efficient use of inexpensive vegetables.

[2] Beginning in 1897, Pragyasundari Devi edited a women's magazine, Punya, which included recipes.

[6] Pragyasundari Devi married Lakshminath Bezbaroa, an Assamese-language writer and literary agent in 1891.

Ira Ghosh, her granddaughter, wrote a biographical introduction to a recent edition of Amish O Niramish Ahar, and updated it with more current measurements and directions.
