Do remember that recipes were only written down when they needed
remembering. The making of bread was taught to youngsters and never
forgotten by anyone; it was made so often. My Grandmother, though not
medievel, made wonderful breads and baked goods the I will always
remember with fondness. Alas, they passed with her as she never wrote a
recipe in her life, and no one could learn it from her. Baking was a
sense of oneness with the ingredients as flour/water ratios varied with
each crop as well as baking day's humidity. Flour, water, salt, slurry.
niccolo perveyor of fine slurries.............. and their resultant
beverages :o)
