Sisters Sarah and Moira travel from Bombay to Stanton Station, a
whistle-stop in the midst of the dry forests of the Deccan in
India, where several generations of their family have settled.
Since Granny Watkinson is dying of cancer, the girls are spending
their Christmas holidays with Aunt Hilda and Uncle Cyril
instead.
Daddy arrives from Delhi; he brings news of unrest in the
capital as India inches towards independence. Aunt Hilda oversees
the preparation of meals in between sips of gin and lime,
accompanied by a steady stream of gossip. Sarah revels in the
atmosphere, and listens with rapt attention as old stories are
recounted, ancient grudges explored, and family history comes alive
once more.
"Mummy hates postings, and I see it in her weary smile and by
the way she runs her fi ngers tiredly through her hair. I hate them
too, although sometimes I fi nd the prospect of new places and
fresh faces fascinating. Moira doesn't mind either way; so long as
we all stay together, it's okay with her. I chase after her, up and
down the platform, dodging the many stalls, jumping on and off the
huge platform scales.
That is our life. Army brats, governed by the whims of HQ, our
schooling constantly disrupted by postings."
Patricia Brown creates a richly layered memoir comprised of
anecdotes illuminating her childhood in India, and she has
complimented her platter of recollections with nearly two hundred
mouth-watering recipes and illustrations. The tenth anniversary
edition of "Anglo-Indian Food and Customs" captures the spirit and
food of a culture unlike any other in the world.
In this expanded version, Brown includes a comprehensive history
that describes the true identity and evolution of the Anglo Indian
as well as greater details about Anglo-Indian cuisine. As with many
other cultures, the Anglo Indians' assimilation into society took
place through the kitchen, and this is reflected in the delectable
recipes created with a unique infusion of herbs and spices mirrored
in dishes like Country Captain and pork fry. Original fusion,
Anglo-Indian food is enjoyed extensively in Great Britain, where
many notable hotels and restaurants carry it on their menus.
For those who enjoy good food and share a curiosity of the ways
of different cultures, Brown takes you on a journey to discover
unique tastes. With the mixture of Indian spices, one can make
bland roasts, stews, and pies evolve into distinctive, wonderful
meals. So fall in love with Anglo-Indian people and their
remarkably distinctive cuisine.
