    Full Description

    Life in the royal courts of India revolved around entertaining. The palace kitchens were allotted massive budgets to ensure the highest quality of cuisine. Each state had its unique style of entertaining and food traditions – carrying forward these culinary practices are the modern day Indian royals. While the scale of the banquets may have shrunk the passion for food and the age-old family recipes remain. Dining with the Maharajas: Thousand Years of Culinary Tradition brings the invaluable legacy of Indian royals as ten families open up their palaces and homes to allow you a glimpse into their charmed lives that straddle tradition and modernity. Contents: Introduction The High Table: Hyderabad Valley of Fragrances: Jammu and Kashmir Desert Feast: Jodhpur Nawabs of Taste: Mahmudabad Spice Route: Mysore Rich Repast: Patiala Haute Cuisine: Rampur Chroniclers of Cooking Traditions: Sailana Tribal Treats: Tripura
