I would like to put out a question for discussion:
I have been spending time looking at medieval recipes. Due to health concerns
so much of the composition of the recipes would "kill" me if I cooked it as
stated in the recipe. Sooooo, I have started making replacements of food
stuffs and changing cooking methods to suit my personal needs. ie:
instead of fyring in oil, I "fry" using 1 tsp of oil in 1 C of water in a very
hot pan
instead of 8 eggs, I use egg replacer
instead of milk I use rice milk or soy
etc.....you get the idea.
My question is: At what point does the recipe stop being "the recipe;?
My question is: If one cannot be a purist (sp?) about thier medieval food,
isn't getting "a taste" of or "feel for" the *idea* of the recipe better than
nothing at all? How do you all feel about this? Comments please!
