Traditional Iraqi Cuisine - Original Recipes from Migrant Women - D'Arcy McGinniss
Introduction
Iraqi cuisine is a fusion of foods of the Middle Eastern region, with an ancient history that has developed over thousands of years. The desert foods of bread, milk and dates, with occasional meat has combined with the agricultural regions of Iraq where cucumber, leeks, chicory, onions, garlic, palm hearts and lemons are just some of the fruits and vegetables being farmed in this land of loamy soil and sunny climate.
Pomegranates are another fruit used in many dishes and in Middle Eastern legend and they are linked with fertility and to marriage.

So significant is the pomegranate, considered by many to be sacred, that some scholars believe them to be the original forbidden fruit.
The traditions of this extensive range of produce and the spreading of Islam meant the growth of a vibrant food culture fifteen hundred years ago. Baghdad was at the centre of cultural and political power as Islam spread across North Africa, Spain, parts of southern Italy, Arabia, Syria, Armenia, Iraq, Persia and Afghanistan.
A ‘golden age’ of Islamic cuisine emerged from the ninth century, and stories abound of sumptuous feasts of foods quite beyond imagination. Cooking became an art form. The rich and famous were on a constant search for the latest sensation with which to impress their rivals. Culinary literature was considered the height of sophistication, with the cultural elite dabbling in poetry and song about the pleasures of the table.
Subtle combinations of foods were prized, and Caliphs commissioned people to invent dishes and events. The caliphs’ banquets in Baghdad were famous beyond Iraq for their display and scale of choice. The preparation of the food and the lavish garnishes are the stuff of legend.
For many of the elite the aspiration to the status of connoisseur was their life’s ambition. The prosperity of the age meant that the acquisition of new foods from distant corners of the empire was not only possible but desirable. Prestige
