Well, I know some cooks in this list have been investing in new cookbooks.
I, for one, have bought a number of new cookbooks covering period food since
I started reading this list. I have saved a number of the cookbook mentions
and reviews in files in my Stefan's Florilegium. These files might be useful
to look through:
In the FOOD section:
cookbooks-msg (98K) 11/13/98 Reviews of cookbooks with medieval recipes.
Messages posted before September 1995.
cookbooks2-msg (96K) 11/13/98 Reviews posted between 9/95 and 11/97.
cookbooks3-msg (61K) 11/13/98 Reviews posted after 11/97
cookbooks-SCA-msg (12K) 5/29/98 Cookbooks written by people in the SCA.
cb-novices-msg (13K) 10/14/98 Cookbooks for those new to medieval cooking.
cb-rv-Apicius-msg (32K) 10/12/98 Reviews of cookbooks having Apicius recipes.
A few folks have posted bibliographies with their opinions on the worth and
usefulness of various cookbooks. Some of these are also available:
cooking-bib (14K) 1/24/95 Bibliography on cooking sources.
cookbooks-bib (32K) 4/21/97 Cookbook bibliography by Jaelle of Armida.
cookbooks2-bib (14K) 10/ 3/97 Cookbook bibliography by Stephen Bloch.
cookbooks3-bib (20K) 10/14/98 Cookbook bibliography by Lady Allison.
There are also a number of files with information about foods in certain
countries, sometimes including mentions of cookbooks. And this file reviews
various books about period food that are not cookbooks themselves:
books-food-msg (29K) 5/12/98 Books about food. Not cookbooks.
This file in the COMMERCE section might help you find some good sources for
buying some of the books mentioned in these other files:
merch-books-msg (21K) 9/16/98 Directory and reviews of book merchants.
