SC - Newby in need of HELP!

[LYN M PARKINSON]

Flidais,

There was a famous woman pirate, Grace O'Malley, who lived in Tudor
times--a bitter foe of the Tudors.  Late period English recipes, heavy on
the seafood, might do well.  Ask your librarian for copies of 

Hess, Karen.  Martha Washington’s Booke of Cookery.  C. 1749.  Columbia
University Press, 	NY, 1981. A 17th century cookbook owned, not
written by Martha   Washington

Spurling, Hilary.  Elinor Fettiplace’s Receipt Book, Elizabethan Country
House Cooking.  	Viking Penguin, Inc., NY, 1986. 

These should be easily available, and you can also look at the SCA
recipes on line in Duke Sir Cariadoc's Miscellany, Stefan's Florilegium,
etc.

All these sources should also help you learn  to redact recipes for
yourself, which you will want to do when you get comfortable with
medieval and renaissance cooking.  Welcome to the list, always glad to
have more playmates.

Regards,

Allison
