"I have enjoyed reading Best of Delectable Foods, I have been fascinated and learnt a lot. Nawal Nasrallah has brought an extraordinary medieval world to life in an intimate kind of way through Al Tujibi’s cookbook. With this book, the English-speaking world will be able to better understand the Hispano Muslim styles of Spain and North Africa today and their influence further afield. They will also better understand the countries."Claudia Roden, celebrated, pioneering author of books on Middle Eastern and Jewish food, June 2023.“... al-Tujībī’s tome is a revelation... It will affect the way we cook from now on for sure.”Sam and Sam Clark, cook book authors and chef-owners of Moro, in the Financial Times, June 10, 2022.click here."One of only a handful of surviving medieval Spanish cookbooks, Ibn Razin's Fiḍālat has been long known to scholars, even if incompletely. By at least the 17th century, 55 of its 475 recipes had disappeared. Then in 2018 a nearly complete 15th-16th century copy of the cookbook, originally composed in Tunis around 1260 CE, surfaced in the British Library. Alerted to the discovery, Nasrallah, a food historian, set out to produce the first complete English translation, preserving lbn Razin's culinary legacy while modernizing 24 of the recipes for the home cook. The book serves as Ibn Razin's ode to the cuisine of Muslim Spain, before having to flee the Iberian Peninsula's conquest by Christian armies. He nostalgically surveys a wide range of dishes, from everyday boiled fava beans to special-occasion sinhaji, an elaborate stew and forebear of Spain's classic olla podrida. This faithful translation is an important contribution to the history of Andalusi cuisine."Tom Verde in AramcoWorld, July 1, 2022."When flipping through the 600 or so pages of the Fiḍāla’s recipes, their “novelty and exquisiteness,” as al-Tujībī characterized them, quickly becomes evident... While al-Tujībī never saw his beloved al-Andalus again, ...all of his favorite recipes have now returned home."click here."Dankzij dit boek krijgen we inzicht in gerechten, hoe ze met de jaren zijn veranderd of juist hetzelfde gebleven, en hoe gerechtende verschillende gemeenschappen met elkaar verbonden. Dat wekt bewondering en is een aansporing om te experimenterenmet die oude methodes en receptuur... Wat een bijzonder document heeft Al-Tujibi de wereld achtergelaten. Gelukkig maar. Wie beweert dat tijdreizen niet mogelijk is, heeft duidelijk nooit van dit magische boek gehoord."Hassnae Bouazza in NRC Handelsblad, Zaterdag 11 maart/Zondag 12 maart, 2023.click hereShortlisted for the 16th Sheikh Zayed Book Award in the category ‘Translation’.Listen to a special extended episode of the podcast "Cooking the Books" about 13th century Moorish cookery.
