The Exile’s Cookbook brings together 480 recipes, including roasts and stews, breads, condiments, preserves, sweetmeats, and even hand-washing soaps. It offers a fascinating insight into the cuisine of Muslim Spain and North Africa in al-Andalus – its regional characteristics and historical antecedents, but also its links to culinary traditions in other parts of the Muslim world.
