A fascinating guide designed to assist British women in colonial India with entertaining and meal planning, offering recipes and advice tailored to the Anglo-Indian household, adapting English recipes to accommodate for the 'food procurable in most Indian markets'.
Including cocktail, game, fruit, and soup recipes.

Inscription of G. R. R. Brown to the half title head.
With the numerous blank ruled leaves throughout - intended for note taking - all left blank.
