144 pp, oblong (8 1/4" H x 12 1/4" D). Profusely illustrated with colour photographs of food, street vendors, markets, architecture, truck art, etc. "The Grand Trunk Road, the axis of the Indian subcontinent's heavily populated north since the sixteenth century, was the brainchild of Sher Shah Suri. (This book) presents a compelling and beautifully illustrated history of the road since its emergence as ancient India's first route for traders and invaders. Driving along the classic route, full of the footprints of history and culture, one has an unmatched opportunity to discover the culinary riches of India. The seductive treats range from the barbequed temptations of Peshawar and Rawalpindi to the sumptuous secrets of the imperial 'dastarkhans' of Delhi and Agra; from the succluent kebabs of the Awadh region to the sublime vegetarian repast of Varanasi and the tantalizing sweets of Bengal. Indeed the GT Road is the best introduction to the fulsome flavours of India. Bon voyage and bon appetit!" Over 100 recipes, interlaced with snippets of information about the history, people, architecture, and life along the 'Road'. Dust jacket has very light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds.
