FA Complete Indian Housekeeper & Cook cookery book 1913
The Complete Indian Housekeeper and Cook by F.A.Steel & G Gardiner ,
1913 , a little light edgewear,otherwise VGC. 390 pages. This really is an extremely good book,and very scarce. Basically a book of instruction for the memsahib on running a household in British India in the edwardian period. As well as a host of recipes, there are instructions on dealing with the various classes of servants,rates of pay in various indian cites,the buying of provender,dealing with merchants,decamping to the hills in the high summer,suitable clothing and other goods, camp life, gardening in india and a lot more.The book is of course hideously politically incorrect,and gives real insight into the sometimes bizarre relationships between the English and Indian communities http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...e=STRK:MESE:IT
