The author translated from centuries old manuscripts to give us truly authentic recipes. The recipes are arranged in groups according to which Emperor's table they graced. This also makes it a interesting history lesson on how the Mughal cuisine evolved from its Central Asian beginnings to incorporate different influences (Persian, Middle Eastern and South Asian) over time. The numerous Mughal paintings make it a visually stunning book as well. The World cookbook Award it received was certainly well-deserved! I would highly recommend this to anybody interested in good food---and as a gift it would be superb.
