Foreword

The Persian Past
The Khwan Niamut; or, Nawab's Domestic Cookery is a small book from an intriguing time in Anglo-Persian history. Now published in facsimile from the edition printed in Calcutta in 1839, this book embodies a curious concoction of languages, locales, cultures, and cuisines.

It reflects an extraordinary mixture of European involvement in the Middle Easta state of affairs often described as "The Great Game"that was played out through much of the nineteenth century in Persia, India, and Afghanistan.

It was not until 1807 that the British Government considered relations with Persia of sufficient importance to justify the appointment of Sir Harford Jones as their first resident envoy at the Persian capital in Tehran.... The decision by London to send out Harford Jones to represent them at the Qajar Court had been stimulated by growing fears that the French planned to attack India through Persia. Jones' task was to secure their expulsion from Persia and to re-
