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.
