[Sca-cooks] Mughal Feast

[Nazirah Garrison]

Yeah,  my first line of attack has been the /Ain i Akbari/ ingredients
lists, and figuring out recipes based on what I know of period cooking
techniques in the region, and resorting, when needed, to modern
"traditional" techniques. Everything I have right now is "plausibly period"
with justifications.  I never thought to combine it with the /Nimatnama/
recipes, but that seems like it should be the logical next step.
