[Sca-cooks] Habeeb Salloum new books

[Johnna Holloway]

Scheherazade's Feasts Foods of the Medieval Arab World by Habeeb Salloum, Muna Salloum, and Leila Salloum Elias is finally out. Includes actual notes (footnotes) pp 203-204 and bibliography pp 205-210. I would guess it's much better than the previously discussed Lilia Zaouali volume. Have not had time to go over it yet with a fine tooth comb, but I noted the Anonymous Andalusian is not cited as to website or date. Just Trans. by Charles Perry.
