Among the articles in this issue:
- Andrew Dalby on the earliest uses of chiles in the Africa, the Near East, and elsewhere in Asia
- Andrea Broomfield on Florence White's food guidebooks in pre-WWII Britain, the first of a three-part series
- Nawal Nasrallah examines the effect of Ziryab, an arbiter of high style who had fled Baghdad, on the courts of Muslim Spain in the ninth century
With book reviews and announcements of prizes, conferences, and other events of interest.
Paperback. Black-and-white photographs.
