The Indian Cookery Book by an anonymous “Thirty-Five Years’ Resident,” a Calcutta-published standard first issued in the 1870s and continuously reprinted for its blend of Indian and English recipes, home remedies, and domestic advice across presidencies. Similarly, Dainty Dishes for Indian Tables speaks directly to Anglo-Indian culinary hybridity, opening with a literary flourish from Owen Meredith and offering hundreds of recipes for all courses, including cooling summer drinks, pickles, and preserved fruits.
