Summer in the Jungle
What's in this issue?
Into The Bungalow the Decorating article
Detached, private, and initially modest, the bungalow started as housing for English sailors of the East India Company and eventually grew into the iconic accommodations of the Raj. Now, there are entire "bungalow belts" in neighborhoods across America, Britain, and Australia. Not all of us live in one, but we can still bring home the time-honed beauty and practicality of the subcontinent. Illustrations and commentary explain how to do so.
One, Two, Three! And Where's Your Party the Hearth article
Of all of Kipling's Just So Stories, the most heavily laden with responses to questions of a jungle-nature is "How the Leopard Got His Spots," which cleverly explains the coloration of several equatorial beasts. One of its most delicious moments is when the camouflaged Zebra and Giraffe trick the two hungry hunters out of their meal with a "One—two—three! And where's your breakfast?" A commonly stated woe that accompanies long summer days is "there's nothing to do," which is sometimes followed up by the question "can't we have a party?" to which we reply "one—two—three! And where's your party?" Ideas and instructions fill up these pages so you can make a party that is "just so, best beloved!"
To Make Good Things the Kitchen article
The literal taste of India found in its perfectly balanced, vibrant uses of spices and aromatic vegetables—all of which are designed to please every possible portion of the palate whether sweet, savory, hot, salty, bitter, or sour, and generally accomplished in a single dish!—must have left a craving no amount of bubble and squeak or even roast beef and Yorkshire pudding could satisfy. For those accustomed to a land where spice flowed freely, even to the impoverished; and returning to a land where spice was rationed by sprinkles even among the wealthy, the craving for curry ran high. The following recipes are a small sampling of India's cookery that we have adapted to the tastes of our family--but the flavors can be intensified or lightened, the heat turned up or down, the fat can be heightened or reduced, curries can be beefed up or vegan-ed down, one legume (known as "dal" in India) can be substituted for or combined with another, and so on and so on.
The Lotus-Covered Water the Garden article
The Christians of the Raj would have phrased it as "keeping oneself unspotted from the world;" but the native Hindus or Buddhists would have summed it up in contemplating the sacred lotus. Today, just as for the enlightenment-seeking lama in Kipling's novel, Kim, studying the lotus makes for a "pilgrimage well begun."
Eat Thy Bread the Workshop article
Flatbreads can be made using any countertop and rolling pin, but a time-honored part of the heritage of Indian flatbreads is contained in the chakla and belan, a rolling board and rolling pin to be found in virtually every Indian kitchen. Together they speed up the process of creating flatbreads and increase the handsomeness of the final loaf. The article presents inspiration and instructions for making a chakla and a belan.
