Recipes are listed by course, including soups, fish, meat, eggs, rice, curries, savoury dishes, as well as sambals (a chilli sauce or paste), chutneys, pickles, sweets, cakes, etc. The British Library ascribes authorship to Mrs J. Higginbotham, presumably of the Madras publishing company, which issued other cookery tittles. A scarce title.
Fifth edition, revised and enlarged; small 8vo (155 x 120 mm); decorative headpiece vignettes, the odd, minor spot and pencil marginalia, else very good; publisher's grey cloth with black titles repeating title-page, extremities a little worn and stained, otherwise a very good copy; ink manuscript 'Chapatty recipe' loosely inserted.
