There is perhaps no bigger irony than considering the replacement of fish and chips with chicken tikka masala as the national dish of Britain as symptomatic of the Indianization of the British palate. The illustrated Foods of India, an authentic and textured account of India cuisine and its rich heritage, will dispel such myths forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing upon the country’s oldest literatures in Sanskrit, Pali, Tamil, and Kannada, the book provides readers the A-Z of Indian food. Not just about food perse, it covers the historical, religious, and religious influences on India food showcasing the intricacies of the various sub-cultures of India through their cuisines. Actual recipes from historical sources like Ain-i-Akbari, menus from the diaries and cookery books of colonials, and quotations from the accounts of foreign travelers – along with the more than 80 visuals add significantly to the book’s appeal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtensively cross-referenced for easy access, The Illustrated Foods of India will charm and inform both foodies and food academics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublisher’s Note\u003cbr\u003eList of Headwords\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe A-Z of Indian Food\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"K T Achaya \/ Oxford University Press \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153777652080,"sku":"25134","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/25134.jpg?v=1793914016","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/the-illustrated-foods-of-india-a-z","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
