| I have been reading this new book about travel in some very unusual places. The recipes are fun to read, but I doubt that I’ll try them! I wrote more about the silk road here: https://maefood.blogspot.com/2024/06/i-am-not-pilgrim.html and here: https://maefood.blogspot.com/2020/03/what-did-marco-polo-eat.html |

A Long Time Ago
Many years ago, I read about medieval voyages in various contexts, and I wrote a book called Jewish Time Travel. Its pretty obscure though amazon.com still has a listing for it.

Very nice post. I would love to go to that market. Ohhhh your book! I know, with the way you write, it's a good read. I will have to check it out. Have a nice day today.
I was always interested in the silk road, medieval voyages and Jewish historic sites, but I don't remember seeing your books. I wish I had.

That Silk Roads book sounds interesting. Is there more than food? I wonder if it also talks about the places. It is fun to read about foods and places you may never try or get to (or want to get to). hugs-Erika
Your book sounds interesting! I have a friend i think would enjoy that.
The silk road concept has always been alluring. The sense of mystery, the exotic and rare, and the richness and depth of other cultures is quite a compelling combination.
