• The Khwan Niamut; or, Nawab's Domestic Cookery is a small book from an intriguing time in Anglo-Persian history. Now published in facsimile from the edition printed in Calcutta in 1839, this book embodies a curious concoction of languages, locales, cultures, and cuisines. An anonymous translator prepared the text, drawing upon a "small Pamphlet, in the Persian Language. . . ." It was published in Calcutta rather than Persia, avowedly for the "European Community" but presumably for the "Inglis-ha,'' as the English would have been called in Farsi, the Persian language. It reflects an extraordinary mixture of European involvement in the Middle Easta state of affairs often described as "The Great Game"that was played out through much of the nineteenth century in Persia, India, and Afghanistan.
