Has anyone read A Mediterranean Feast: The Story of the Birth of the
Celebrated
Cuisines of the Mediterranean from the
Merchants of Venice to
the Barbary Corsairs, with More than 500
Recipes
by Clifford A. Wright ?
Perhaps it has been discussed previously. I am new to the list and have
no sense of history here. But his thesis is that we have underestimated
Arab influence on European culture and cuisine and it's quite exhaustively
documented? I know that it isn't technically all medieval, but it is
rooted in history. Any other fans, readers?
