description: While the British were in India they developed a curious cuisine all of their own. Anglo-Indian cooking was at its best when it achieved a kind of cultural balance; mulligatawny, kedgeree and Worcestershire sauce are all products of the Raj. David Burton draws on first-hand accounts to describe a valuable piece of social history: in addition to over 60 authentic recipes. He builds up a fascinating and often hilarious picture of the British -- at best endearingly naive, at worst ignorant and xenophobic -- seen through the kitchen door.
