There are a lot of similarities...Mongol cooking influenced ME cooking 
and vice versa.  But there are differences as well.  Frequently the 
spicing isn't quite as intense or sophisticated in Mongol cookery.  In 
fact, I'm going to be cooking a ME feast in February, and I'm looking at 
including some Mughal as well as Mongolian dishes, just to do something 
a little different.  There was a lot of influence on Mongol cookery from 
Persia...also from China.  Frequently the combination of flavors and 
techniques produced some intriguing results.  I have some notes on this 
from a class I taught, if you're interested.  All I ask is credit if you 
decide to use some of my redactions.
