"With more than 200 hundred recipes, representing an equal span of years, Jennifer Brennan re-creates and revives the breakfasts, tiffins, picnics, teas, buffets, and dinners of the "Servants of the Crown." From simple family meals to the Raj at tea-time, weddings, and club dinners, the textures, colors, and tastes of India as the British found it, and changed it, are evoked with wit, warmth, and intelligence. To this culinary adventure, Jennifer Brennan adds a guide, rich with arcane lore, to primary Indian spices, as well as historical notes about the Imperial period."--From dust jacket.
