The India Cookbook: From The Tables Of My Friends
The India Cookbook: From The Tables Of My Friends invites you into the enchanting world of Indian carpets and the stories they tell. This non-fiction collection, rooted in cultural history and design, is for curious readers, history lovers, and home enthusiasts who want more than decoration—they want meaning. The tone is warm, educational, and a little adventurous, offering a journey you can savor page by page.
Structured as a narrative journey, the book explores the varied landscapes of India's carpet-making tradition, showing how every piece carries its own tale. Curated by Norwegian diplomat Jon Westborg, The India Cookbook: From The Tables Of My Friends draws you into a world where textiles connect memory, geography, and craft, and where the line between artifact and story blurs beautifully. Readers will discover the delicate craftsmanship of Kashmiri carpets, the Herati-inspired designs from Amritsar, and even a remarkable rug woven inside the walls of Rampur jail, each chapter offering context, color, and human touch. In the spirit of Of Indian Carpets and Carpetwallahs: An Appreciation, this collection invites you to see a carpet not just as an object, but as a lineage of memory and artistry that enriches any space.

- Curated by Jon Westborg, blending archival insight with engaging storytelling
- Accessible, descriptive prose with evocative imagery to bring each piece to life
- Thoughtful presentation suitable for carpet enthusiasts, collectors, designers, and curious readers
- Elegant production with clear context and design-forward layout
