Scheherazade's Feasts: Foods of the Medieval Arab (Habeeb Salloum, Muna Salloum, Leila Salloum Elias)

"Scheherazade's Feast: Foods of the Medieval Arab World is [a] fascinating glimpse into how medieval Arabians ate, and the recipes are as relevant today as they were in the medieval period. Salloum, Salloum, and Elias have managed to preserve the best of Arabian cuisine for generations to come."—Samaya Borom, Parergon

"From the tenth to the thirteenth centuries, when Baghdad was the grandest city in the world and Moorish Spain was a beacon of civilization, all cookbooks were written in Arabic. The Salloums have done a wonderful job of bringing this age of splendor and luxury to life and rendering the party dishes of a thousand years ago in all their fragrant glory."—Charles Perry, translator of A Baghdad Cookery Book
