Fascinating overview of food in medieval Islamic world. The author discusses everything from cookbooks, regional variation, borrowing/incorporation of foods/traditions from across the known world, the impact of the discovery of the New World & introduction of foods such as tomatoes & potatoes (spoiler—they led to big changes), utensils, cooking pots, importance of aromatics etc…numerous medieval as well as contemporary recipes also included.

Starting another book about food…oddly enough (okay, perhaps not so oddly) my research is making me hungry! 😂

The first six chapters of the book gave me a better understanding of being Single vs. being Unmarried. A great read to help with your knowledge of being single, married, separated, and life after divorce.

Ednica Yes!!!! A must read!! Thanks for sharing this gem!! 4y

Let the best time we spend be with ourself. Let having a company, hanging out with friends be the choice, not a necessity.

O past that has departed and is gone, I will not cry over you. You will not see me remembering you, not even for a moment, because you have travelled away from me never to return.
O future, you are in the realm of the unseen, so I not be obsessed by your dreams. I will not be preoccupied about what is to come because tomorrow is nothing and has not yet been created.
Today is my only day.

You are so weak. Give up to grace. The ocean takes care of each wave 'til it gets to shore. You need more help than you know.

My next read for #RamadanReadathon! I'm about 40 pages in. It's so compelling with plot that unfolds fast. I'm very intrigued and curious to know how everything will play out.
