Written during the early 10th century by Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq, this cookbook, known as Kitab al-Ṭabīḫ (The Book of Dishes in English), offers a fascinating look at medieval Islam’s gastronomic culture. A large collection of more than 600 recipes within 132 chapters, Kitab al-Ṭabīḫ is the earliest known culinary book of its kind. Some accounts state that it was likely written about 950 AD. By providing an enormous amount of recipes, it gives an insight into the life of the times. here

Widely known as Apicius, named after the first-century epicurean Marcus Gavius Apicius who has many recipes in the book, the cookbook in its early editions was known as De re coquinaria. This translates as ‘The Art of Cooking’ in English. This Roman cookbook may have been created as early as the late fourth century and is broken down into 10 sections. Titles of these sections include Epimeles (‘The Careful Housekeeper’), Pandecter (‘Many Ingredients’), and Thalassa (‘The Sea’), to name a few. The recipes give modern-day readers a look at how and what – such as flamingo – the wealthiest people ate during the time.

Not to be confused with the cookbook of the same name mentioned above, this Kitab al-Ṭabīḫ was compiled in the 13th century by Muḥammad bin al-Ḥasan bin Muḥammad bin al-Karīm al-Baghdadi – better known as al-Baghdadi. A culinary tome of the Abbasid period, the manuscript was written in 1226. The only original copy resides in Istanbul, Turkey at the Süleymaniye Library. Featuring 160 recipes, with an additional 100 added over the years, it was very popular in what is present-day Turkey. more

A famous cookbook from the Middle Ages, Le Viandier is believed to be written by Guillaume Tirel. However, he was born sometime around 1310, and the oldest extant manuscript discovered is from the late 13th or early 14th century. Given the times, however, it was common for writers to take credit for others’ work. There are four surviving manuscripts today. The aforementioned is located in Sion, Switzerland, a 14th-century version is at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris and a 15th-century copy is in Vatican City. Another one from the 15th century also in Paris. The earliest version contains approximately 130 recipes. [links]

Thanjavur is known for the famous Brihadeeswara Temple, which was built by the King Raja Raja Cholan in 1010 AD and it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After a thousand years, the temple still stands proud and majestic. The temple is a major pilgrim and tourist attraction in South-India. The famous River Cauvery also flows through this district, hence agriculture is a major occupation of the people in and around this district. Thanjavur is famously called the Rice Bowl of Tamil Nadu state. The people of Thanjavur are well known for their hospitality. If you are a guest to one of our homes, you will be treated and pampered like a king.

If I have to name one city that’s known for its delicate Bissara soup it’s definitely Chefchaouen! I remember running into the best Bissara when I stopped by a local restaurant in the blue alleyways of the city for a break. It tasted so good with its earthy and rich flavor of fava beans and sun-dried peas. Since then I would stop for a Bissara lunch break every time I pay a visit to Chefchaouen. Traditionally speaking, Bissara is usually served in winter as comfort food. However, I can assure you that this hearty dish can pass for any season! So you might consider visiting Tangier city someday and order it on a sunny beach day with grilled sardines and a side salad while enjoying the ocean breeze of Tingis city. If you pay a visit to Morocco, you can find restaurants everywhere serving Bissara soup, but northern Bissara is just superior and heavenly delicious! So make sure to stop by Chefchaoun and have a delicate Bissara soup served in a hot clay pot while enjoying the sound of Ras El Ma waterfalls, the sight of green mountains, and the blue houses of medina!
