RE SC - Recommended Books

[Christina Nevin]

Saluti Anahita,

A book you really do want is Terrence Scully's "The Art of Cookery in the
Middle Ages" (1995 Univ of Rochester Press; ISBN: 0851156118). Admittedly
there are no recipes (though reading it always inspires me to go cook!), but
I learnt a lot from it which affected the way I cooked and thought of
medieval cooking and food. 

The Platina info is:
Platina  [aka Sacchi, Bartolomeo] / Milham, Mary Ella (trans.) 
"On Right Pleasure and Good Health (De Honesta Voluptate et Valetudine)"
(Med. & Ren.Texts & Studies, V. 168) 
Pegasus Press, 1998   ISBN: 0866982086 
You can order it here for $11;

818%2012%207
Please note this is an abridged version (but still excellent).
