Following the fall of the Roman Empire, European culture disappeared until Hispanic-Muslim wars died down and the arrival of the musician Zirab to the Hispano-Muslim court in Cordoba. This city became the capital of European culture and surpassed Badgad in culture and in gastronomy. Fadalat and Al-Andalus are testimonies to the cuisine in southern Spain in the 13th century, both of which contain several bread recipes.

The Hispano-Muslim cuisine traveled to Catalonia by the 14th century as seen with Sent Sovi and Nola a century later; and from their to the king of Aragon’s domains in southern Italy. There the cuisine blended with the Sicilian-Muslim cuisine which in turn was taken to France by Catherine di Medici.

Maybe some country you are talking about had no culture in your book but that cannot be said of southern Iberia from the 9th to the 14 Century.

Europe does not stop at the Pyreenes.
