I've gotten enough requests, so I thought I would post my recipes. I
apologize for them not being written as well as I could.... he he... I'm
a mathematician not an english major.

Powder Douce I: Cinnamon, Sugar, Cloves, Ginger
Powder Douce II: Cinnamon, Sugar, Mace, Cardamon, Coriander
Powder Fort: Grains of Paradise, Ginger, Cubebs, Cloves, White Pepper
Note: as in most cooking, the amounts listed in this recipe are only
approximate. Medieval writers didn't list amounts so being off by a
teaspoon or so, might just be a period practice :)

white sugar, ground mace, dried flowers
Directions:
Boil and mince pork. Add ground mace, cloves and currants. Make into
balls, and fry in some oil until brown. (note: when making this recipe
there seemed to be something missing. The pork wouldn't hold together
as a ball because the mixture was too moit. Even thought the recipe
doesn't call for them, to counter this, I added some bread crumbs to
help act as a binder.)
Take almond milk, and rice flour. Boil briefly (add beef stock to thin
down if necessary) Coat Meat balls with light coating of sauce, and
decorate.
