This cookbook piqued my interest, and I thought you might be interested. Calcutta, India, released it in 1922. This book was given to me by my father-in-law, a Calcutta Jew. Calcutta’s Jewish community has a rich and colorful history. Over two hundred years ago, they made their home there.
Barry scanned and emailed me a copy of the book, titled the Jewish Cookery Book. Mrs. H. Brooke published it, and East Bengal Press, 52/9 Bowbazar Street, Calcutta, printed it. I have a sizable collection of antique cookbooks (both Jewish and non-Jewish), but I had never heard of this one before. It includes some kosher Jewish Indian dishes, some of which I’d never heard of before.
