[Sca-cooks] My upcoming feast...

[Elaine Koogler]

Friends,
I have been remiss in not posting the menu for my feast on Saturday.  Some
of you have seen the menu on Facebook where I posted it to try to attract
people to the event.  At any rate, the theme is "Dining along the Silk
Road," and features dishes from that area.  I have to admit to have just
gotten my new copy of "Annals from the Caliphs' Kitchens" so there are a
number of recipes from that.  I "redacted" all but a couple of the recipes
myself...one (Subhani) came from a booklet published by the An TIr Cooks
Guild on a Mughal feast they did, one (Chuqmin) was done by my husband (the
breadmaker in the house!!) and one was done by one of my students (the sugar
cookies).

Shrimp Sambusa



Bal-po Soup (Soup for the Qan) (Mongol version of a north Indian soup)
