Alwan-E-Nemat: A journey through Jahangir's kitchen

Poorly written book and does not provide proper instructions, particularly as the recipes are unusual / complicated. Would not recommend for anyone to buy it. I want to return mine but Amazon does not have the option for unsatisfactory product for this item
