Iraq has always been the cradle of many developed and
sophisticated civilizations in all the ?elds of knowledge &
it has always been an open country before all countries.
It is also the point of communication between the civili
zations of the east and the west, which led to its overall
development in all arts including the culinary art.
The Iraqi cuisine reached its peak in the medieval ages,
when Baghdad was the capital of the Abbasid state.
Due to its openness to the world and the neighboring cou-
ntries, this cuisine still re?ects, till today, such artistic heritage
in all types of food which are marked by their Arab and Iraqi
unique taste.
