The Arabic culinary tradition made its mark in the tenth century when al-Warraq authored al-Kitab al-Tabikh (The Book of Dishes), a comprehensive culinary treatise comprising over 600 recipes. However, it took another three centuries for cookery books to emerge in the European continent. For centuries, gastronomic writing remained the exclusive domain of the Arab-Muslim world, with cooking manuals and recipe books originating from Baghdad, Aleppo, and Egypt in the East, and Muslim Spain, Morocco, and Tunisia in the West. Nine complete cookery books have survived from this era, containing a staggering total of nearly four thousand recipes. One such remarkable book is The Sultan's Feast by the Egyptian Ibn Mubarak Shah, written in the fifteenth century. This culinary masterpiece showcases over 330 recipes, ranging from bread-making and omelettes to sweets, pickling, and aromatics, along with valuable tips on various culinary aspects, from essential cooking skills to the art of distilling potable water. Now available in English for the first time, this critical bilingual volume provides a profound understanding of medieval Arabic gastronomic writing.
