[Sca-cooks] OP Mesopotamian Recipes

[Sam Wallace]

Dear Randell ,

If you are interested in seeing the rest of the recipes, they are in "The
Oldest Cuisine in the World: Cooking in Mesopotamia" by Jean Bottero (
https://books.google.com/books?id=PxnaaTzC8tMC). It contains a complete
translation of the tablets. It also does a good job of providing context.
The more current article provides a bit of updated information as well as a
different perspective on the same. I've made several dishes working from
this and have also been experimenting with the kind of grains listed in it
to make bread, so I rate it as quite usable.

I hope this is helpful.

Yours,

Guillaume

The majority of the culinary section is in the article?

> 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!
