"There is only one known copy of the Sultan's Book of Delights in existence and it is held in the Oriental and India Office Collections of the British Library (BL. Persian 149). The manuscript is illustrated with fifty elegant miniature paintings, most of which show the Sultan, Ghiyath Shahi, observing the women of his court as they prepare and serve him various dishes. The book is fascinating in that the text documents a remarkable stage in the history of Indian cookery whilst the miniatures demonstrate the influence of imported Persian artists on the style of the Indian artists employed in Ghiyath Shahi's academy."--Jacket.

A New York Times bestseller and one of the most praised Korean cookbooks of all time, you'll explore the foods and flavors of Koreatowns across America through this collection of 100 recipes. This is not your average "journey to Asia" cookbook. Koreatown is a spicy, funky, flavor-packed love affair with the grit and charm of Korean cooking in America. Koreatowns around the country are synonymous with mealtime feasts and late-night chef hangouts, and Deuki Hong and Matt Rodbard show us why through stories, interviews, and over 100 delicious, super-approachable recipes. It's spicy, it's fermented, it's sweet and savory and loaded with umami: Korean cuisine is poised to break out in the U.S., but until now, the cookbooks have been focused on taking readers on an idealized Korean journey. Koreatown, though, is all about what's real and happening right here: the foods of Korean American communities all over our country, from L.A. to New York City, from Atlanta to Chicago. We follow Rodbard and Hong through those communities with stories and recipes for everything from beloved Korean barbecue favorites like bulgogi and kalbi to the lesser-known but deeply satisfying stews, soups, noodles, salads, drinks, and the many kimchis of the Korean American table.

This beautiful guidebook explores the medieval hill-fort of Mandu, 99 kms from Indore in Madhya Pradesh, described by emperors, historians and travellers as the City of Joy . The Malwa Sultans built exquisite palaces and mosques here between the 14th and 16th centuries. The ship-like Jahaz Mahal, moored, as it were, between two picturesque kunds that fill to the brim during the rains, Hoshang Shah s Tomb, said to have inspired the builders of Taj Mahal and Jami Masjid, conceived and executed like the Mosque of Damascus, stand testimony to the grand vision of their patrons. The book also traces the legend of the star-crossed love of the poet-prince Baz Bahadur and his beautiful consort, Roopmati. The Mandu Travel Guide includes a well-researched section on Indore, the gateway to Mandu, and nearby destinations such as the popular pilgrim destinations of Maheshwar and Omkareshwar, the district of Jhabua known for its colourful Bhagoriya festival and the 6th century rock-cut Bagh Caves.
