A month and a half ago i bought a nice paperback cookbook on Moghul 
Cooking. The author frustratingly quotes books she has read with NO 
reference to the source :-( She has good recipes...

Joyce Westrup. Moghul Cooking: India's Courtly Cuisine. Serif, London: 1997.

She does have a nice bibliography. In it is:
Abul Fazl. _Ain-i Akbari_ (3 vols.). Trans. H. Beveridge. Calcutta, 1907.

Anyone have any info on this? Does it include the Ain-i Akbari 
"cookbook"? The author of the Moghul cookbook calls the food part a 
list of dishes and their ingredients. I know His Grace, Duke Cariadoc 
has some of these on his website, but i'm want more, more, more!
