[Sca-cooks] Colonial Indian Cuisine

[Susanne Mayer]

I do have the Memsahib's  Cookbook, recipes from the days of the Raj; 
Paperback  ISBN 0-7499-1170-0 by Rhona Aitken, as reprint from 1993 (the 
firt was written in 1989)

it is a charming book with stories from 1890ties, recipes and an 
introduction to live in India in the 19th century by the Greatgranddaughter 
of Edward Hamilton Aitken,  a Naturalist born in India of scottish ancestry 
.

If you want a specific recipe I can look if ther eis somethnig in there.

Regards

Katharina
