However, it would take another three centuries for cookery books to be produced in the European continent. For centuries to come, gastronomic writing would remain the sole preserve of the Arab-Muslim world, with cooking manuals and recipe books being produced from Baghdad, Aleppo and Egypt in the East, to Muslim Spain, Morocco and Tunisia in the West. A total of nine complete cookery books have survived from this time, containing a total of nearly four thousand recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Sultan's Feast\u003c\/em\u003e by the Egyptian Ibn Mubarak Shah in the fifteenth century is one such book.
