nové vydání klasické anglické četby First published in 1888, The Complete Indian Housekeeper and Cook
sought to provide practical advice to young memsahibs in India, 'giving
the duties of mistress and servants, the general management of the
house and practical recipes for cooking in all its branches'.
Ostensibly a manual of household management, it opens a fascinating
window on to the day-to-day life of the British in India. Brisk,
capable, humorous, highly opinionated and frequently ironic, the voice
that emerges commands the reader's attention; Steel and Gardiner's
mission to uphold British standards in Indian kitchens has illuminating
parallels with the running of the British Empire, and their domestic
guide
reveals as much about British attitudes to India as any history book on
the Raj. They explain how to 'make a hold' over servants, how to
establish and stock a storeroom, how to plan a menu, manage young
children, treat bites from 'mad, or even doubtful dogs', and teach an
Indian cook how to make fish quenelles. Whether living in camps or in the jungle, on the hills or in the plains, no British woman would be at a loss with The Complete Indian Housekeeper by her side.
The Mrs Beeton of
British India, Steel and Gardiner's classic work was hugely popular and
many times reprinted. This new edition illuminates the fascinating
details of imperial household economics as seen through the eyes of
these two curious, intelligent, and widely travelled
women.
