Thank you DOP Azafrán de La Mancha for sharing this post about FLAVORS OF AL-ANDALUS by Janet Mendel--and for the photos of saffron in the cookbook.

✨ Nos alegra compartir una noticia muy especial: la reconocida autora y experta en cocina española Janet Mendel acaba de publicar su nuevo libro
'Flavors of Al-Andalus: The Culinary Legacy of Spain' (Hippocrene Books, Nueva York, 2025).

📖 Esta obra explora el legado culinario andalusí y las huellas que la cultura islámica dejó en la gastronomía española. Entre sus páginas, el azafrán ocupa un lugar destacado como símbolo de identidad, historia y sabor y para ello ha utilizado algunas de nuestras fotografías 🌷

💬 El reconocido chef José Andrés ha definido este libro como: “Un fascinante viaje en el tiempo. Janet es una viajera que nos trae el mundo de al-Ándalus -una región muy cercana a mi corazón- a nuestras cocinas de hoy”

👉🏻 Janet Mendel, estadounidense afincada en Andalucía desde hace más de 50 años, es una gran divulgadora de la cocina española. Actualmente busca una editora en España para una futura edición en castellano y árabe de Flavors of Al-Andalus. Desde la DOP Azafrán de La Mancha compartimos esta información por si puede llegar a alguien interesado en apoyar la publicación de esta magnífica obra y además le deseamos el mayor de los éxitos en este nuevo proyecto, que contribuye a difundir la riqueza cultural y gastronómica de nuestra tierra

"Food writers and food historians like to speculate on what Mediterranean cuisine must have been like before the introduction of tomatoes. For a good look at what was going on in pre-Columbian southern Spain, a new book by Janet Mendel, FLAVORS OF AL-ANDALUS, dives into the subject. “How,” she asks, “did the Andalusíes make gazpacho?” And she goes back to the progenitor of the iconic cold soup, back even to the Roman legions in the heat of an Andalusian summer, mixing together a staple sustenance of bread-garlic-oil, thinning it with spring water and adding whatever fresh ingredients were available—chopped cucumbers, lettuce, figs, and eventually, centuries later, tomatoes and peppers."

Late summer leads to ponderous thoughts about the future but there's still some glory left to imbibe
