[Sca-cooks] OP Mesopotamian Recipes

[Laureen Hart]

The majority of the culinary section is in the article?
They tease us by saying there are 25 recipes on one of the tablets and only give us 4???

Even partial recipes would be informative.
There are just not enough food geeks in the world...sigh...

Thanks for posting it up, it was very interesting!

All,

I recently came across this article titled "The Ancient Mesopotamian Tablet
as Cookbook" (
https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/roundtable/ancient-mesopotamian-tablet-cookbook)
and wanted to share it here. It is an excerpt of "Ancient Mesopotamia
Speaks" which coves quite a bit of the contents and context of the Yale
Babylonian collection with a focus on their tablets. The majority of the
culinary section is in this article. There are additional bits giving
illustrations of seals and other depictions of foodways as well as other
sections that I am interested in, so I am pleased with my purchase of the
book. If you are only interested in the recipes, though, just enjoy the
article.

Yours,

Guillaume
