Re-CREATIONALS is a series of cookbooks that showcases cuisines of royal dining halls and average residents of significant civilizations of the past. Each dish featured in "Mesopotamia" has been re-imagined based on archeological evidence, interpreted through the lens of modern cuisines that trace their origins to these same dishes. All of these recipes are suitable for modern main courses, side dishes, snacks, beverages or desserts. Modern access to kitchen appliances and spices have transformed these recipes from a royal dainty into an experience that won't strain anyone's budget. Each civilization's recipes are preceded by summaries of the culture which produced them to enhance your culinary adventures.
