A. Authentic Recipes from the Middle Ages

For actual Islamic recipes from the Middle Ages 10th - 15th centuries (900s - 1400s) see, Cariadoc's Miscellany: An Islamic Dinner. This site is prepared by a member of Creative Anachronisms Society (a group that likes to dress up and act as if they lived in the Middle Ages or during the Renaissance), and the author has researched recipes from Islamic cookbooks, mostly from Andalusia (Islamic Spain) and Baghdad (in Iraq). Approximately 140 authentic recipes that can be made today.
See a brief explanation of "Eating in Jerusalem" during three periods of history go to: In the Early Temple Period (1006 to 586 B.C.); "Roman-Byzantine food" (586 B.C. to 70 A.D.) and "Food in the Early Islamic Period". There are a few recipes to try from each period.
A number of Persian, Arabic and Turkish cookbooks from the 10th to the 19th century have survived and some of the best recipes are presented in the outstanding Serving the Guest: A Sufi Cookbook by Kathleen Seidel. Read this beautiful work done with great love and skill. Included are recipes for tutmach (thin noodles cooked with meat and yogurt); zalubiyya (fritters, or fried dough); tharid (lamb and chickpea stew); manti (Turkish dumplings); harisa (porridge); halvah (a sweet pastry); sanbusa (meat turnovers); and many more authentic recipes!


here is another site:
Some of these recipes are probably true medieval dishes, but which no longer have any valid documentation; some are original creations based on medieval techniques and ingredients; some are traditional or post-period dishes that have been adapted for the modern medieval kitchen; still others are medieval recipes that have been altered by the inclusion of modern ingredients enough to make them no longer "real." Despite these drawbacks, however, these foods are still quite delicious and are ideal for dinners where a medieval theme is prevalent but authenticity is of little concern. Feel free to give them a try, keeping well in mind the true nature of their dubious background!

GOD LUCK & HAVE FUN TRYING!!!
