It would be nice if the original recipe and the modern recipe being discussed 
could be posted so the rest of us could understand what is being talked 
about. Personally, I put McKendry's book right up there with Fabulous Feasts> 
nice background info (both books), good modern cook (McKendrey only), lousy 
medieval/early modern cook (both). I put the book back on the store shelf 
after viewing more than a couple of her supposedly authentic representations 
of period recipes.
