by Nawal Nasrallah
Published 9 November 2017
The fourteenth-century Egyptian cookbook, Kanz al-fawa'id fi tanwi' al-mawa'id, is a treasure trove of 830 recipes of dishes, digestives, refreshing beverages, and more. Here, for the first time, it has been meticulously translated into English and supplemented with a comprehensive introduction, glossary, illustrations, and twenty-two modern adaptations of its recipes.
Written nearly a thousand years ago, Al-Warraq's cookbook is the most comprehensive work of its kind. This traditional cookbook with more than 600 recipes from the luxurious cuisine of medieval Islam is also a rare guide to the contemporary culinary culture.
