{"product_id":"2940157608804","title":"A Grandmother's Legacy E Book","description":"A cookbook memoir containing over seventy Anglo Indian recipes based on her five generational grandmothers' recipe book dating back to the 19th century when they all lived in India during the days of the British.  In addition to the recipes, there are five chapters on each of the grandmothers where Jenny has cherry picked her grandmothers' recipes especially for you as well as giving further chapters of the history that linked their families in India, family anecdotes, incredible family photographs which portray their lives and an addition of Jenny's own travel stories around India...all of which bring the reader full circle in terms of a family legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith her passions for cooking, India, research and writing, the outcome has been a labour of love – a memoir which mingles the history of her family, which goes right back to 1844 and British Raj India, with her grandmothers' recipes that were prudently passed down through the generations. Each recipe has been lovingly researched, leading Jenny on a road of discovery about her ancestors, with her grandmothers' legacy continuing to assist in providing clues to their rich and eventful past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer recent tour of India in December 2015 appeared to have been orchestrated by some magic wand, whether it was Bangalore or Calcutta, Bombay or Madras, Delhi or Pondicherry, Jenny had well-nigh the best reception that one could ever get – in terms of locale, agenda or audience response.  In Bombay she pulled off a four day Anglo Indian food festival at a top hotel with panache.  One look at the menu and you go weak in the knees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is certainly something about Jenny.  More than chronicling the saga of her family, more than dishing out the celebrity dishes with a gentle touch, more than making the world sit up to Anglo-Indian cuisine, she has for all we know, emerged as the finest ambassador yet of the Anglo-Indian community. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"My goodness, what an incredible work of research and interest. It feels as though I'm reading an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, with that long history of extraordinary women and their recipes.\"   Kirsten Abbott, Penguin Random House, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I read your manuscript with real interest – there is a true warmth and charm to the book, and the stories behind the recipe names and the dishes themselves are fascinating and full of life. I can see \u003cbr\u003ethat these recipes are authentic and they sound delicious\"  Natalie Bellos, Bloomsbury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It was fascinating, and in the recipe book you're clearly in possession of a real family treasure – your description of it as a time capsule is also spot-on. As someone with an Indian family by marriage I felt \u003cbr\u003ea particular connection to the material, and a familiarity with the recipes, too, so I'm grateful to you for sharing it.\"   Adam Strange, Little Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\" This was a really lush and evocative personal history, as flavoursome and finely balanced as the recipes you provide.\"   Ka Bradley, Granta \u0026amp; Portobello Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\" I enjoyed reading your book - you clearly have great passion for exploring your food heritage, and how rewarding it must have been to research and recreate the recipes handed down through your family, which sound both delicious and intriguing.\"   Ione Walder, Quercus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It is a lovely mixture of memories and cooking, and fabulous photos.\"   Nicholas Pearson, HarperCollins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"You have done a wonderful job capturing a glimpse of Anglo-Indian culture and cuisine and I have no doubts that many people would turn to your book time and time again.

It is a wonderful family document and deserves to appeal to a new generation.\"   Eleo Gordon, Random House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Thanks so much for sending this over.
