 '''500 recipes with a bite of history'''
 An Anglo-Indian writer traces her roots through a cookbook handed down four generations of grandmothers. Every competitive cook guards her recipes, but few would go so far as to deposit them in a bank. Jenny Mallin's inheritance contains over 500 recipes dating back to 1844.Based on this legacy , the former BBC TV producer has now self-published a book called '' A Grandmother's Legacy: A Memoir of Five Generations Who Lived Through The Days of The Raj. ''
 Jenny's Anglo-Indian parents relocated to England in 1953, carrying with them the old cookbook, its saucestained pages containing well-loved family recipes such as Mahratta Curry, Yorkshire Puddings, Christmas Cakes, Ginger Wine, Quoorma (Kurma), and Almode (a lamb stew made with the middle neck of lamb, braised in chillies, garlic, cloves, cinnamon, peppercorns, cardamom and bay leaves).
-A beloved recipe like Christmas cake, for example, adapted with time as innovation brought convenience to the counter. “I have at least seven versions of the recipe (each written by a different grandmother or perhaps the cook) and within each recipe, you can see evidence of how another person has crossed out an ingredient and included a new one,“ says Jenny . For instance, earlier versions included plums, which were “cleaned, stoned and dried out in the sun“, and then a grandmother replaced them with Sun Maid Raisins and prunes. Another grandmother has de cided to follow the same recipe, but in stead of 4lbs of butter has replaced it with 2lbs of ghee (clarified butter).
 “Once the railways started, my grandmothers travelled right across India (my grandfathers were all Permanent Way Inspectors and were enti tled to travel with their family in their own railway carriage). The grandmothers' recipes became a `fusion' of local ingredients with their British heritage, so a recipe for scrambled eggs would be enhanced by the addition of green chillies, onions, tomatoes and ventheum (fenugreek) leaves and my great great grandmother Ophelia penned that recipe in the book as `Matheekie Barge' (methi being another word for ventheum and I suspect `barge' referred to bhaji).,“ rec o u n t s Je n ny.One grandmother has even annotated costs in lieu of measures, specifying one paise worth of chillies, for example.
 The recipes, like old family albums, were a peephole into her family's lifestyle, their measurements indicative of large gatherings and large appetites.“What their recipes reveal is their genuine love of good hospitality where doors are thrown open to family , friends and neighbours. It may be for a special birthday event, or an elegant tea party complete with cut sandwiches made from Grandma's Brown Bread recipe to Afternoon Teacakes, Hot Scones, Lemon Cake, and of course Christmas Cake,“ observes Jenny .
 The grand old cookbook was invariably bequeathed to the eldest daughter, but it was later passed on to whichever daughter loved to cook. And so Jenny's mother, Cynthia came to possess it and passed it on to her youngest child.

 A reverse migration, however, is yet to happen, he said. "For the younger generation settled abroad, India has never been home.

		+
		+	An Anglo-Indian writer traces her roots through a cookbook handed down four generations of grandmothers
		+	Every competitive cook guards her recipes, but few would go so far as to deposit them in a bank.
		+	Jenny Mallin has -not because she's secretive about her Mahratta Curry, but because the recipe book that records this little-known dish is a 19thcentury family heirloom “brittle as a century family heirloo poppadum“. Passed down five generations of a food-loving family and added to it by each, Mallin's inheritance contains over 500 recipes dating back to 1844.Based on this legacy , the former BBC TV producer has now self-published a book called A Grandmother's Legacy: A Memoir of Five Generations Who Lived Through The Days of The Raj.
		+
		+	Jenny's Anglo-Indian parents relocated to England in 1953, carrying with them the old cookbook, its saucestained pages containing well-loved family recipes such as Yorkshire Puddings, Christmas Cakes, Ginger Wine, Quoorma (Kurma), and Almode (a lamb stew made with the middle neck of lamb, braised in chillies, garlic, cloves, cinnamon, peppercorns, cardamom and bay leaves).
		+
		+	Five years ago, Jenny's father passed away . Seeking to distract her mother, she decided to bring out the old recipe book.“I decided to select one of their recipes to discuss with my mother every day , and then try out the recipe for myself, converting their old measurement terms to metric,“ says Jenny .
		+
		+	With time, her mother's despair was replaced by this new interest: family stories were repeated and shared between mother and daughter, old photographs were discussed, and memories came flooding back. Presented with this incredible gift of anecdotes, recipes and old family photographs, Jenny felt compelled to put it all in a book chronicling the life and times of each of her four grandmothers -Wilhelmina, Ophelia, Maud and Irene.It's a fascinating glimpse of family life during the Raj through a culinary journey across generations.
		+
		+	A beloved recipe like Christmas cake, for example, adapted with time as innovation brought convenience to the counter. “I have at least seven versions of the recipe (each written by a different grandmother or perhaps the cook) and within each recipe, you can see evidence of how another person has crossed out an ingredient and included a new one,“ says Jenny .

		+
		+	The first-time writer, who quit her job four years ago to work on this project, plans to travel to India later this year and film in the cities -Madras, Pondicherry, Bangalore, Bombay and Calcutta -where her grandmothers lived, following a poppadom trail that will eventually take her home.
