OOPS!
1.) Should be *ibn Sayyar's* 10th century Kitab al-Tabikh, a
compendium of 9th and 10th century recipes
Sorry for any confusion.
Additionally
3.) appears to date from the 12th C. and has the full title of Kitab
Al-Wusla ilal-Habib fi Wasfi Al-Tayibati wal-Tib (The Book of the
Bond with the Friend, or the Description of Good Dishes and Perfumes)
of which about 10 copies survive.
