Travel Back to Ancient Mesopotamia
With Table of Gods, you’ll be able to take your friends and family to the cradle of civilization.
Apart from turning you into an ancient chef, this book will also make you a certified guide to eleven Mesopotamian cities, as well as a storyteller who will be able to captivate your audience with the stories of Gilgamesh, Inana, Anzu, or any other of the 31 myths and legends in Table of Gods.

Eat Like the Gods
People in Mesopotamia believed they were created by the gods to serve them food and drink four times daily. If the gods were satisfied with their offerings, they would protect the inhabitants from famine, wars, and demons.
Cooking for the gods was a matter of life and death. Imagine entire societies revolving around this belief, and ask yourself, "how much better would my food taste if I cooked for the gods?"
One thing is certain: your guests will have an unforgettable experience at the table of gods.

Drink Like the Gods
Ever dreamed of becoming an ancient home-brewer? Probably not. But with several beer recipes in Table of Gods, you at least have the opportunity.
Nothing beats the moment your guests realize they’re sipping garlic beer. If you don’t like taking risks (or garlic), brew the date or pomegranate beers instead.
