Well, it's not the Holy Land, but Alexander Neckam gives a recipe of sorts
for pork in his 12th century travelogue of London and Paris. He says, "A
roast of pork is prepared diligently on a grid, frequently basted, and laid
on the grid just as the hot coals cease to smoke. Let condiment be avoided
other than pure salt or a simple garlic sauce." (Daily Living in the
Twelfth Century: Based on the Observations of Alexander Neckam in London and
Paris, Urban Tigner Holmes, Jr., 1952).
