The name of the book is "A Soup for the Qan".  It is, for the most part,
a translation of a 14th century Mongol treatise on food and medicine.
There is additional material which describes the culture and influences
from other cultures, including the Middle East, and some of these
recipes are included as well.  None of the recipes are redacted.  The
authors/translators are Paul Buell and Eugene Anderson.  My copy of the
book is upstairs, but you should be able to find it with this
information.  I believe that the current price is over
$200...Aaaaaarrrrrrrgh!  I did manage to get it before the publisher
jacked the price up, but still had to pay $125!

Hope this helps.  If you still need more information, let me know and
I'll send it.

heard this resource mentioned frequently, but I can't ever find a
 synopsis of what it actually
refers to, or the information needed to get it
 from a library.
    Could
someone please let me know what time period/culture/region this
 covers and perhaps the author's
name, or ISBN number so I can get ahold of a
 copy?
