Greetings....
What would be a good ref. book to have for period foods.... ?? 


I find Pleyn Delit, Take a Thousand Eggs or More, and Early French Cookery
to be good sources of reference. BUT there are a host of others out there
that can be better described by gentles who are more familiar with them. I
can offer a touch of advice however. It may not be a good idea to refer too
often to "Fabulous Feasts" as it is dubious, at best, in places. It is
however not bad for simple receipts that are common knowledge across the board.

As for herbs, spices and other flavourings, I tend to depend on Culpepers
for authenticity as to the "old world" distinction and it also tells you of
its other uses as well.
