Fascinating overview of food in medieval Islamic world. The author discusses everything from cookbooks, regional variation, borrowing/incorporation of foods/traditions from across the known world, the impact of the discovery of the New World & introduction of foods such as tomatoes & potatoes (spoiler—they led to big changes), utensils, cooking pots, importance of aromatics etc…numerous medieval as well as contemporary recipes also included.

batsy @Ruthiella Same! A life without fries... 🍟 12mo

Starting another book about food…oddly enough (okay, perhaps not so oddly) my research is making me hungry! 😂
