Steel and Gardiner's mission to uphold Victorian standards in Indian kitchens has illuminating parallels with the running of the British Empire, and their domestic guide reveals as much about British attitudes to India as any history book on the Raj. In this treasure trove of household advice for young British memsahibs, they explain how to \"make a hold\" over servants, establish and stock a storeroom, plan a menu, manage young children, treat bites from \"mad, or even doubtful dogs,\" and teach an Indian cook how to make fish \u003cem\u003equenelles\u003c\/em\u003e. Whether living in camps or the jungle, on the hills or in the plains, no British woman would be at a loss with \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Indian Housekeeper and Cook\u003c\/em\u003e by her side. For this new edition, the editors provide a lively Introduction and notes that offer an invaluable guide to the manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRalph Crane\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of English at the University of Tasmania. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnna Johnston\u003c\/strong\u003e is Queen Elizabeth II Research Fellow in English at the University of Tasmania.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 7.6 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53423122874675,"sku":"9780199605767","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/mwuBSmr8PC9780199605767.webp?v=1780476702","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-complete-indian-housekeeper-and-cook-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
