The Khwan Niamut or, Nawab's Domestic Cookery.
Edited by David E. Schoonover.
University of Iowa Press. 170 pp. 1992 $19.95 Cloth.
This appealing little cookbook, published in 
Calcutta in 1839 with the weighty subtitle "Being 
a Selection of the Best Approved Recipes of the 
Most Flavored and Savory Dishes, from the Kitchen 
of Nawab Qasim Uli Khan, Buhadur Qâum Jung, from 
the Original Persian," gave colonial Europeans a 
way to enjoy royal feasts in their own homes. All 
the refinements of Persian cookery are served up 
in the pages of this facsimile edition.
