I´m not sure if it has been mentioned here already but her foreword to
Charles Perry's Medieval Arab Cookery is now available online at the
Prospect Books website, along with the table of contents. The publication
date is now Spring 2001 but I wouldn't be too sure - I had dinner with
Claudia and Alan Davidson in London a year ago, when Claudia was writing the
foreword, and then the publication date was Summer 2000. Anyway, the
foreword can be found here:
