differnt. Am I right? Maybe I am trying to make this harder than it really is.

Hello!  Thanks for the plug, Renata.  Yes, I'm here, but falling asleep...

FYI, the SCA has perfect-bound copies of the 1st edition.  Acanthus Books,
Page After Page, Green Duck, etc. have spiral-bound copies of the new 2nd
edition.  The new edition is corrected & has more than 20 newly adapted
recipes.

Welcome, Glo.  Medieval-style food preparation is labor-intensive, but not
very difficult.  Once you get past the spellynge, working out the recipes
can be fun.
If you can, please visit my links page:
http://members.aol.com/renfrowcm/links.html , where you'll find links to
many good culinary history sites.  If you'd like pictures of medieval food
preparation, check out http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/food.html

Good night all!
