You are doing just fine.

I don't know if you have been to my files, Stefan's Florilegium or not, but
you might want to look at some of the files in the BEVERAGES section such
as:
beverages-msg (75K) 8/22/97 Beverages in general. alcholic drinks.
beverages-NA-msg (72K) 8/ 4/97 Non-alcoholic beverages.
brewing-msg (14K) 12/30/96 General brewing info and sources.

There are a number of recipes, redactions and some just medievalish recipes
in the FOOD section of my files.

Take a look at some of the other files in the FOOD section or some of those
in the PLANTS, HERBS and SPICES section such as:
food-sources-msg (24K) 9/ 5/97 Modern sources for unusual medieval meats
and other foods.
herbs-msg (32K) 4/28/97 Herbs used in period and how they were used.
Modern sources.
saffron-art (16K) 8/11/97 How to buy and select saffron by Tony Hill.
saffron-msg (27K) 8/21/97 Types of saffron. period uses.
seeds-msg (59K) 7/29/97 Sources for period plants and seeds.
spices-msg (72K) 8/15/97 Info. on spices, sources for spices.
By the way, saffron may be expensive by the ounce, but you don't need anywhere
near that much. You usually only use a few threads at a time in personal sized
cooking. I highly recommend the article by Tony Hill for more details.
