Sir James Ranald Martin (1796-1874) served as an East India Company Army doctor during 1817-40. As a hobby, he collected recipes from the Courts of different Rajahs whom he visited, and from the Messes of Regiments known for their hospitality. On his return to London, he hosted eminent people with these dishes, Florence Nightingale among them. Hulton also includes recipes from her mother, written up during the Siege of Lucknow, a biography and history behind the book. Various curry powder mixes are credited, eg "Sir Ranald Martin's favourite recipe. Captain Wroughton's famous recipe. As used by the Rance of Hyderabad 1855. a very old recipe from Madras".
