Kanz al-Fawā'id fī Tanwī' al-Mawā'id (Treasury of Benefits in the Variety of Tables, 13th–14th century Egypt) is a Mamluk-era culinary manuscript that documents Egyptian and Syrian cooking at the height of the Mamluk sultanate. The text is notable for its scientific approach to cooking — explaining why techniques work alongside how they should be executed. Translated from Arabic, these entries represent culinary knowledge from a tradition that influenced Ottoman, North African, and Levantine cooking for centuries.
