It's expensive, yes, but the quality is fabulous and you get over 100 Mughal recipes with detailed instructions on high-quality glossy paper, as well as notes about history and a few miniature painting spreads. I love flipping through this book and we enjoy showing it to guests as well. The recipes are easy to follow, though the portions are very kingly (ha). There are no photos of the food, or illustrations, so manage your expectations. This is more of a cookbook for people who are experienced in the kitchen. Think biryanis, types of pulao, naan varieties, barthas, etc. About 95% of them feature lamb as the main ingredient. Enjoy! Review: A True Feast - The book presents a wonderful blend of culinary history and recipes. We tried out a number of recipes at home, and each time we were surprised by how good the food tasted. As these recipes tell us, the Mughal kitchen used a rather limited variety of ingredients compared to what we use today. There is, for instance, no use of spices like turmeric or chillies or ingredients like tomatoes or potatoes which are so common in contemporary Indian food. On the other hand we see use of such thickening agents like rice paste which have largely gone out of practice. This makes the Mughal dishes compiled by Salma Hussain taste wonderfully unique and very different from anything that you might be able to order today in a restaurant. And of course the sensation that you are tasting the exact same thing that emperor Shahjahan tasted more than three hundred years ago is priceless! Also, the lavish use of Mughal miniature paintings in this book gives it an aesthetic appeal that is usually missing from most cookbooks brought out by Indian publishers. This book is a true feast for the senses and it is a must have! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #65,796 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #320 in Food, Drink & Entertaining (Books) #859 in Asian History (Books) #4,186 in Society & Social Sciences | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 134 Reviews | ## Images ![The Mughal Feast - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/911l3dqtjEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A GORGEOUS COLLECTOR'S ITEM *by S***Y on 19 November 2023* If you have someone in your life who is interested in Mughal cuisine, cooking, art, or just Mughal history, get this book for them - or yourself!

I have recipe books that were collected by my mum and those are excellent books but have no photo. My mum still managed to feel inspired and whip up excellent stuff out of those books !! It is lame to rate a recipe book on its photos . The content is beyond brilliant and informative. This is not for the beginner but an experienced cook will enjoy cooking from this book. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Mughal Feast: Recipes From The Kitchen Of Emperor Shah Jahan - The Lucknow Cookbook: A collection of recipes that celebrates the tehzeeb and nazaakat of Lucknow - The Jewels of the Nizam: Recipes from the Khansamas of Hyderabad --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/125248875-the-mughal-feast](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/125248875-the-mughal-feast) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
