The Cold Table: Table of Gods

Table of Gods

Hi, everyone! I recently found a new source of information about ancient Assyrian food. It's called "Table of Gods" and you can find it on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. The creative force behind Table of Gods, Amir, was born in Stockholm but started to study Assyrian history to learn more about his heritage. He is currently working on a book about ancient Assyrian cuisine (there is a surprising amount of culinary information written on clay tablets in cuneiform) that he has rendered into recipes readable and usable by modnerns, and he is a significant way along the process of publication. Look for more information about his efforts here: https://www.tableofgods.com/. I am looking forward to seeing the fruits of Amir's research.

Mission Statement

Welcome to "The Cold Table" (formerly called "Table Scraps" and, less recently, "Food Through Time")! This is a blog about the history of food worldwide. It's about the origins of foodstuffs; recreating period foods, cooking techniques, and cooking utensils; historic ideas about food and nutrition; eating customs; and tableware. I will also do reviews of books discussing any of the above topics. I hope you enjoy this blog, and find it worth reading and commenting upon.

Because we are also part of history, modern food and cuisine are part of the story, and fair topics for this blog (though my preferred area of interest is historic food, particularly food before 1600 CE). Non-food issues are off-topic, and I reserve the right to remove off-topic comments without notice.
