Vividhvani

Over the centuries, Zoroastrian women protected tradition, even when geographical locations changed from Central Asia to Western India, and food adapted to new circumstances. So many English dishes became part of Parsi cuisine that the classic Parsi cookery book, written by Meherbai Jamshedji Nusserwanji Wadia, Vividhvani, written in two volumes during the late 19th century, has a total of 2050 recipes, and became a Parsi woman's heirloom cookbook.
