The Landour Cookbook: Over Hundred Years of Hillside Cooking
As delicious today as they were 60 years ago... and well worth the effort that's put into recreating them'. Landour, circa 1900s: The missionary impetus did not remain confined to schools. The intermingling of European. American and Indian flavours created a unique Anglo-Indian aroma which spread all over the hills. Compiled into The Landour Cookbook, they have left the taste of Mrs. Menzie's Cuban Stew, M. McGee's Corn Tamale, E.W. Ross' Blushing Apples, Larry Smith and D. Bunce's Wacky Crazy Cake, Sopa Aros (a Mexican rice dish)... for us to savour even today. Picture in the mind's eye the Landour bakers with their trunks on their heads, selling confectionery and bread; the trout provided as a 'service' by the friendly neighbourhood milkman; the melt-in-the-mouth Banana Fritters turned out by local cooks.
