A hard to find cookbook with some lovely bits and pieces about life in British India. This is a used softcover book in very good condition: nice and clean with minor wear to corners; pages are nice and clean and ageing lightly; some rubbed-out pencil marks on the first page. See photos for cover blurb and sample pages. The book in the photos is the actual book you will receive - we never use stock pictures - enjoy!
