Greetings! PPC (Petits Propos Culinaires) is published by Prospect
Books and is in English. If you live in the US, one year is $23.50 and
two is $45. Your check should be made payable to PPC North America and
sent to PPC North America, 45 Lamont Road, London SW10 OHU. One year
consists of three issues of a small hand-size treatise. To me it is
well worth the price, for if there is something on the Middle Ages or
Renaissance you can be sure it is documentable. A recent issue had a
brief article on Aphrodisiacs which I meant to send to this list. Ask
for it as a gift from relatives!
Markham is Gervase Markham who lived from about 1568-1637. His _The
English Housewife_ was printed in 1615 and contains a treatise on
farming, medicine, distillation, dyeing, etc., as well as cookery. A
nice edition is that of Michael R. Best, editor, published by
McGill-Queen's University Press, 1986, ISBN 0-7735-0582-2.
Hope this helps!
