Description

Explore the culinary and medical history of the Mongol Empire with A Soup for the Qan.

As part of the Sir Henry Wellcome Asian Series (Volume 9), this book provides an introduction, translation, and commentary on the text. Discover a unique cross-cultural dietary history through recipes and medical lore. The text includes food descriptions and selections from ancient texts that reveal influences from Arabia, Iran, India, Mongolia, and China.
