Curry: A Tale of Cooks & Conquerors (2006) by Lizzie Collingham
Fascinating history of curries.
Documents how the British tried, and ultimately failed, to ruin the cuisine of the Indian subcontinent.
"On the whole Anglo-Indian British food was "monotonous, tasteless, and not nourishing.""
Contains many interesting recipes for curries, kebabs, sweets, etc.
The author does not recommend experimenting with roast black rat.
