SC - Raviollis, tortellinis, fritters

[Stefan li Rous]

Angelique asks several questions:

>>>>>>
Could I get a recipe, please? Is it online somewhere? (and, if so, can I
get an address?) Or can someone direct me as to where I can get a copy
of Appicus? And approximately how much it costs? I have been greedily
purchasing the period cookery texts I can find locally, but haven't seen
that one.<<<<<<

There are several editions of cookbooks containing Apicus recipes. Take
a look at this book in the FOOD section of my Florilegium for some
reviews from this group earlier this year:

cb-rv-Apicius-msg (22K)  9/12/97    Reviews of cookbooks having Apicius recipes.

>>>>>>
While I'm at it with all of the questions, Cariadoc, Your Grace, what
are all of the various cookery texts that you and your Lady Wife have
out? And how may I get them- The clerk at the bookstore looked at me
funny when I asked about the Miscellany, especially when I said it might
be by David Friedman, or it might be by Cariadoc of the Bow. He said he
finds no reference to it.
<<<<<<

I believe the info for getting Cariadoc’s cookbooks can now be found in
this file in the FOOD section:

cookbooks-SCA-msg  (8K)  3/20/98    Cookbooks written by people in the SCA.

>>>>>>>
And, in reference to cookery books, how can I tell if a recipe is period
or not? Cariadoc asked some questions about whether anyone could find a
period recipe for the crispes recipe in Fabulous Feasts, but, the
confusing thing is that the author represents (Or so I thought) these
recipes AS period. Have I wasted my money on this book? I now see why it
is so preferable to see the original text and source material.
Any help, or further suggestions as to SCA period cookery books(titles
and where to purchase!), or websites is most appreciated.
<<<<<<

For more information and reviews on cookbooks with period recipes, take
a look at these files in the FOOD section:

cookbooks-bib     (32K)  4/21/97    Cookbook bibliography by Jaelle of Armida.
cookbooks2-bib    (14K) 10/ 3/97    Cookbook bibliography by Stephen Bloch.
cookbooks-msg    (126K) 12/ 9/96    Reviews of cookbooks with medieval recipes.
cooking-bib       (14K)  1/24/95    Bibliography on cooking sources.
Med-Cook-rev-art   (9K)  6/26/96    Review of "The Medieval Cookbook".

I’m afraid the cookbooks-msg file is a bit out of date. I have a lot of new
material to add from this group. I hope to get to it soon. If the cookbooks-SCA
file is not on the website yet (I can’t remember if I’ve sent it there) then
there is a good chance that the info on ordering Cariadoc’s cookbooks, the
later volumes not just the Miscellany, is in these files.

Hope this is of use.
