Peerhaps. However, since professional cooking of the time was in the
hands of
Guilds, this is something that we may never know. I tend to think that
the
manuscripts we have access to from the Middle Ages were preserved not
because
they were 'commonly available' but rather because they were uncommon
and
unique.
I agree with the uncommon and unique part. Hang on, though: I
haven't
done any reading on this topic, but can you give me some brief
info on
Cooks Guilds? I assume you're meaning in towns and such; were
cooks of
the great lords and on manors parts of guilds? I got the
impression
that guilds were pretty much a "city" institution, and not a
function of
court or manorial life. How are you defining "professional
cooking"?
