The Raj at Table

This book unfortunately has very small print. It was so small that I had to return it. I wish the publisher would come out with a new edition with a much bigger print size and also a Kindle edition. I don't understand why any publisher would choose such a small print size? I really wanted to read this book and keep it.

I was so looking forward to reading this book but unfortunately the copy I received was substandard. Both the print and the paper it was printed on was poor quality. Very disappointing, poor production. I am returning my copy.

Great Read

Truly a unique read! Thanks for the quick delivery.

Humorous, witty. Entertaining and educational read.

Trying out the recipees.Sofar very good

This book is absolutely fascinating and I'm sorry it's out of print. There's nothing better than getting to know a country, a period in history or a culture than through local cuisine. With quotes from Kipling and other historical anecdotes, this tome makes highly entertaining reading and transports you to the era of Colonial India. The attitudes of the time, with frequent references to political backdrops both in India and the world, pre British food attitudes and how they changed and adapted to British life in India, the complex hierarchies of the hired help, their servile resentment of the sahibs and the irresistible draw of India to its foreign rulers is well outlined in this book. What a rare and lucky find! Whoever is lucky to get a copy should buy it immediately!

quite interesting reading and parts of it are hilarious especially the part about the diners throwing food at each other this book is very interesting as we you get to know how the raj lived in india and the class divides throughout india its a book from a bygone age and myself who is anglo indian living in england it helps me understand more about how my forefathers lived in indiagive it a try so next time you watch the film carry on up the kyber you will understand it more

great book excellent seller

Not only a culinary book, but also a history book. You will enjoy not only the food but its rich history. Taste of the Raj lives on. Opening the book, I can smell the food hidden in history.

I recommend this as an informative and very well researched study of Colonial tastes during the Raj period in India.

Great! Thank you!
