Eating with the Pharaohs - An Ancient Egyptian Cook Book - Part 1 (Eating with the Pharaohs, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

EATING WITH THE PHARAOHS is a collection of recipes and stories written by Pentu the Scribe, (a fictional character) who served as Master of Pharaoh's Kitchen during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu, 2589 - 2566 B.C. They bring to us part of the struggle of working as a cook in the Egypt of the pyramid builders. The recipes describe the ingredients and the ways of preparing the food more than four thousand years ago when accurate measuring was something not applied to food. In this intriguing cook book the author has researched plants, animal products and other elements that the ancient cooks used to produce the food and drink for the pharaohs and their families; feeding the living god was something only few could do, with some of these few, the dedicated servants of Pharaoh immortalised on the walls of magnificent tombs and temples. A great read and a great feed!

Autor

Paul Morrison, a retired museologist, has also been a writer for most of his life. "I cannot remember a time when I was not writing, even when I was five or six years old. I grew up with books such as TREASURE ISLAND, 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and THE TIME MACHINE these and the many other books which I read in my early years fed my imagination, a voracious imagination transporting me to faraway places, other worlds and to other times in both the recent and the more distant past..." Many of these worlds and places are visited in the novels and short story collections he has written.

Besides a love of fiction, Paul also reads widely on ancient history and archaeology. "I am particularly interested in Ancient Egypt, mainly Old Kingdom Egypt during the age of the pyramid builders. I have always been intrigued as to how the pyramids were built and also about the lives of the pharaohs and the workers who constructed the pyramids. There were many questions filling my mind, but few if any answers." This inquiring interest led to the GIZA TRILOGY books, THE PHARAOH, THE SPHINX and THE THREE QUEENS, a monumental work of well-researched fiction set against the backdrop of the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau. Together, with their associated books, THE DIVINE LIGHT, ETERNAL EGYPT (Supplement to the Giza Trilogy), and SECRET OF THE PYRAMID, these books total more than 1.3 million words! Other books written by Paul cover a wide range of subjects including historical fiction, science fiction, ghost and detective stories as well as many other genres.

Paul currently lives in Hobart, Tasmania with his wife in a house overlooking the Derwent River. "The magnificent views of Hobart and Mount Wellington inspire me in my writings but the most important inspiration is my wife, Helena."
