Tigers for Dinner: Tall Tales by Jim Corbett's Khansama

Ruskin Bond (Author)

Synopsis

Thus starts Mehmoud's stories about working as Khansama, or cook, for the great shikari Jim Corbett. As deft with his stories as he is with koftas, lamb chops, pies and milkshakes, Mehmound has a tell tale for every occasion. From wrestling with a cobra in his bed, being carried away into the river by a muggermuch, to when a tiger came looking for the cook, these stories leave little Ruskin spellbound.

Join Mehmound in the kitchen as he cooks up one delectable meal after another, and gobble down his delicious stories of man-eating tigers, incompetent maharajas, missing kitchen biys and haunted pilloes all brought vividly to life by Sunaina Coelho's captivating illustrations.
