The book is “Scherazade’s Feast” by Habeeb Salloum, Muna Salloum and Leila Salloum Elias. It is a well researched book and mentions the respective sources fro each recipe and has an extensive glossary that was very valuable for my endeavour. The measures in the recipes below are measured for 60 people and quite sometimes I paraphrased the recipes rather than copying them. If you use store bought ground spices you want to increase the stated amount by quite a bit. Freshly ground quality spices are usually a better choice. I hope this helps at least some of you as an introduction into the medieval Arabic cusine. ...Boasts from Coronet Tourney
