> 
> This is not the usual cookbook by any means. What this book offers is 
> a selection of recipes (well suggested ingredients and techniques) for 
> recreating the breads and meat dishes that might have been eaten by 
> the Hittites. Based on material evidence found in archaeological digs, 
> mentions in Hittite texts, and experiments into what might have been 
> eaten 3500 years ago.
> Breads are covered on pages 94-169. If you like to experiment with 
> early breads
> (taking flour, salt, and water and attempting to make a loaf on a 
> hearth) the experiments and recipes will be very interesting. The 
> breads range from barley breads to flat breads to beer breads. There 
> are color photos for almost every loaf.
> Pages 170-197 are the meat dishes. The volume concludes with an 
> extensive bibliography of mostly Turkish language sources.
