One hundred years ago, an American missionary went to India, and fell in love with both the cuisine and the people. She wanted to share her experiences with the folks back home in the form of a cook book, but she knew she would have to simplify the recipes for her American friends and family. These 100 year old recipes seem thoroughly modern, in both their quick and easy preparation, authenticity, simple, inexpensive and wholesome ingredients. Bon Apetite
