I just today received my lastest orderfrom amazon.com... a new Medieval
cookbook.

Title: The Medieval Kitchen: Recipes from France and Italy
by Odile Redon, Francoise Sabban, & Silvano Serventi, translated by Edward
Schneider
ISBN: 0-226-70684-2
cover price: $32.50 (amazon.com does give a discount, I got it for $22.75 +
S&H)
285 pages
Hardcover
Due out June 1, 1998 (but obviously available now)

I like the look and organization of this book. Each recipe starts out with
a translation of the Medieval recipe (with source) , followed by a
paragraph or three of assorted info about the recipe, then the recipe
itself (with American and metric measurements).

The section before the recipes (there are 153) goes over something of
history, background, and menus. After the recipe sections, the medieval
texts (recipies) in what i assume is Medieval French and Italian, a
bibliography of primary and secondary sources, and a few mail order sources.

I can't wait to try some of these recipes.
