Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq
Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq was a man who lived a very long time ago, in a place called Baghdad, which is in the country of Iraq. He was what we call a scholar, which means he knew a lot about many different subjects like cooking, medicine, and religion.
One of the things that made Ibn Sayyar very special was that he wrote a very big book called "Kitab al-Tabikh" which means "The Book of Cookery". This book was very important because it contained lots of recipes from a long time ago, which people still use today.
Ibn Sayyar collected these recipes from many different places, and he also added some of his own ideas too. Some of the recipes were about foods that we might recognize, like rice or bread, but others were about food that we might not eat today, like stews made from cows' feet.
What makes Ibn Sayyar's book so special is that it tells us about not just the food people ate in the past, but also about the culture and the way people lived. So, he is remembered as a very important figure in history who helped preserve the knowledge and traditions of his time.
