The Goan Cook's Guide Book (1937)

            Edgar Silveira, famed Goan food photographer, wished to know if there was any old Goan cook book. Hence this picture of a book which I found in our kitchen collection. "The Goan Cook's Guide vo Goan Cuzneracho Sangat", was written by Pedro Damiao Dias. BX Furtado & Sons, Bombay, the pioneering Goan book sellers in Bombay, had published as their fourth edition - revised and enlarged - in 1937. "The Goan Cook's Guide" is a hardbound book in 399 pp including the index. The book has been written in Konkani, mother-tongue of Goans. In its Foreword, we find: "Hem novem edicao jem ami choutie pautim xaplam, 1937 vorsa, galun 50-ec vhoir novim dissanchi reciptam, zim toiar keleant, (1) Senhor Benjamin Pereira-anem (Sangolda, Goa), Chefe de Cusine, Bombay Club,  and (2) Senhor L.S. de Mello (Nerul, Goa), Chefe de Cusine, Brandon's Restaurant, G.I.P.
