CONDITION USED GOOD, COOKING FOR THE MAHARAJAS , THE ROYAL RECIPES OF INDIA , HARDCOVER, 1975

This book explores the rich culinary heritage of India as it flourished in the royal kitchens of the maharajas. Drawing on years of travel, research, and first-hand experience, the authors preserve a nearly forgotten tradition by presenting authentic recipes once prepared by palace chefs, along with the legends, customs, and stories that surround them. The collection includes over a hundred genuine dishes—from lavish Mughal specialties to refined vegetarian cuisine of the South—faithfully adapted for modern kitchens without losing their original character. Illustrated with photographs and drawings, the book is both a cultural history and a practical guide, celebrating Indian food as an expression of art, ritual, and royal life.
