Description
Book SynopsisIn an attic packed full of family memorabilia, Bryony Hill unearthed an extraordinary collection – portraits, watercolours, sketches and stories – dating back to the 18th century. Amongst those treasures, she stumbled across her great- and great-great grandmother’s precious recipes – ones that provide a unique glimpse of life in the high noon of the Raj. An Indian Table offers an eclectic range of Anglo-Indian dishes for every course, including curries, pilafs, souffles, pies and puddings. This marvellous medley of cuisines reflects the challenging conditions lived through over 150 years ago, and highlights how food has always played such an intrinsic role in both British and Indian culture.
