Yes, i am aware that it isn't a cookbook. As Westrup said, Fazl 
describes some of the food, listing the ingredients.

But IIRC (and maybe i don't), not all are on your website.

Since i have a pretty good selection of Indian cookbooks, maybe i can 
experiment with the ingredient lists using some pointers from modern 
cookbooks.

Thank you for the invitation. I'll contact you privately about 
scheduling some time.
