  Last night i - with the help of three other cooks - prepared a feast 
  for Mists Fall Investiture. It was a meal of dishes from the late 
  15th C. Ottoman cookbook written by Shirvani, as well as a few 
  recipes i reconstructed - dishes featured in late 15th and in 16th C. 
  menus, and some described by Europeans who ate in the Topkapi.
