Description

Explore the social history of colonial food practices in India, Malaysia, and Singapore with this academic study from Routledge. Spanning the years 1858 to 1963, this book examines how Asian domestic servants contributed to the development of a unique cuisine. Through an analysis of domestic cookbooks, household management manuals, memoirs, diaries, and travelogues, the text investigates culinary life within colonial households, clubs, hill stations, hotels, and restaurants. This work challenges traditional ideas about colonial food by arguing that a distinctive cuisine emerged from the negotiation and collaboration between different groups. It is an essential resource for those studying the modern history of Asia and the cultural impact of empire through the lens of food.
