The Indian Cookery Book (c. 1900)
Author: Anonymous
This historical culinary guide provides a fascinating look into the traditions of Indian cookery at the turn of the 20th century. Although the original printed edition was undated, internal evidence suggests it was published shortly before 1900, as the text references cyclones from the 1860s as “recent events” and contains a reader-added recipe noted as being cooked in 1899.
Key Highlights:
Interactive Format: Similar to other contemporary domestic manuals, this book features interleaved pages of notepaper, designed to allow readers to record their own culinary notes and personal recipes.
Digital Provenance: This eBook version was produced by Project Gutenberg of Australia, with digital images incorporated from Mark Twain’s Following the Equator to enhance the text, as the original printed edition contained no illustrations.
Historical Significance: As an anonymous work, it serves as an important archival record of Indian cooking practices and household management styles common during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.
