For those who missed the first four episodes…

Very excited to have taken part in the series on the history of Arab cuisine on Aljazeera Documentary! In six parts, each episode focuses on a different cookery book and author, covering half a millennium of the richest culinary tradition in history!

Had a wonderfully stimulating discussion with Salma Serry as part of Afikra’s Matbakh series, where we talked about The Sultan’s Feast and much more.

Don’t worry if you couldn’t make it because it’s now available on YouTube!

Check out the wonderful article on the recipes of The Sultan’s Feast by Tessy Koshy in the National today!

Check out the podcast with the wonderful Thomas Ntinas of the Delicous Legacy podcast about the medieval Arab culinary tradition, pickling, Persian cuisine, and much, much more! In fact, there was so much that it had to be split into several parts!

Check out the wonderful BBC article by Tessa Fox on the history of maamoul, which features the recipe for date-filled biscuits from The Sultan’s Feast.

Many thanks to the Emirates Litfest for organising the wonderful event on Arab food and culture, with Salma Serry at the Roof Terrace of the Jameel Arts Centre in Dubai.
