The Anthropology of Food is an analysis of food in culture. While the primary purpose for food is nutrition, it also has a cultural dimension by which people choose what they eat not only by flavor or nutritional value but by cultural, religious, economic, status and environmental factors. - These pages are a collection of sampler recipes providing only a taste of the ancient world.

Unfortunately, we do not have an Ancient Egyptian recipe book that could inform us more on what spices were used (if any), how the meals were prepared, etc. So much of what we call "ancient Egyptian recipes" is actually archaeological reconstruction and some conjecture.
