Description

"The Complete Indian Housekeeper and Cook" is a vintage handbook designed for Indian housekeepers, containing information on how to perform a variety of household tasks ranging from keeping accounts to gardening and serving meals.

Flora Annie Steel (1847 - 1929) was an English writer.

She notably lived in British India for 22 years and is best remembered for her books set or related to the sub-continent.

Other notable works by this author include: "Tales of the Punjab" (1894), "The Flower of Forgiveness" (1894), and "The Potter's Thumb" (1894).

Contents include: "The Duties Of The Mistress", "The Storeroom", "Accounts", "Estimates Of Expenditure", "Hints Of Breakfast, Dinners, Luncheons, Etc.", "The Duties Of The Servants", "Horses And Stable Management", "Cows And Dairy", "Hints On Poultry", "Dogs", "Gardening", "Hints On Camp Life", etc.

Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.

It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
