[Sca-cooks] recipes from Iran around 1600

[emilio szabo]

There is an article about 'research on culinary culture of Iran', published in German:


Bert G. Fragner: "Zur Erforschung der kulinarischen  Kultur Irans", in: Die Welt des 
Islams 23-24 (1984), pp. 320-360.


The authors mentions two old cookery books, one of Ba'urci Bagdadi (1521), the other one from one Master Nurollah. The latter was written down between 1594 and 1618, as far as I can see from page 326.


The author publishes 18 pages of recipes on different rice dishes from Nurollah's book in German translation. These also include a few of Nurollah's notes on food preferences, e.g. of Schah Esma'il (1576-78).

On page 326 in footnote 18, the author mentions the edition he based his translation on.

The article is available in the jstor database.
