A family's recipes during the Raj

An Indian Table Summary

An Indian Table by Bryony Hill

In an attic packed full of family memorabilia, Bryony Hill unearthed an extraordinary collection - portraits, watercolours, sketches and stories - dating back to the 18th century. Amongst those treasures, she stumbled across her great- and great-great grandmother's precious recipes - ones that provide a unique glimpse of life in the high noon of the Raj. An Indian Table offers an eclectic range of Anglo-Indian dishes for every course, including curries, pilafs, souffles, pies and puddings. This marvellous medley of cuisines reflects the challenging conditions lived through over 150 years ago, and highlights how food has always played such an intrinsic role in both British and Indian culture.

An Indian Table Reviews

'[The] book is gorgeous - so crammed with lovely illustrations and recipes. It's a delight from start to finish' -- Joanna Lumley OPE FRGS; 'This delightful book comprises a mixture of Anglo-Indian recipes, which are both eccentric and entertaining prepared by one family serving in India' -- Dr Robert Elgood

About Bryony Hill

Bryony Hill was born and educated in Sussex and after a year at Brighton College of Art, she spent four years in France after which, on returning to England, she met and eventually married the television sports presenter Jimmy Hill. Her tenth book - An Indian Table - is inspired by Scotland to Shalimar - a Family's Life in India, which followed the lives of her mother's family six generations of whom were born in India. Apart from writing Bryony is a keen gardener, painter and cook and, when she came across a collection of her great-great grandmother's and great-grandmother's recipes, the seed was sown to dig deep into her ancestors' history and lives.
