SC - Translations of Spanish foods

[Thomas Gloning]

Frederich,

just in case you are filling in ILL-forms right now. I am currently
reading this book, that might be worth checking:

- -- María de los Angeles Pérez Samper: La alimentación en la España del
Siglo de Oro. [With an edition of:] - Domingo Hernández de Maceras:
'Libro de arte de cocina' (1607). Huesca 1998.

It contains an edition of Hernández de Maceras, one of the three
important cookbooks of professional (male) cooks around 1600 (the other
two being Diego Granado Maldonado 1599, Lady Brighid mentioned, and F.
Martinez Montiño 1611; Martinez, like Hernández was working as a cook
since the late 16th century).

In the introductory text of M. de los Angeles Pérez Samper, she quotes
widely from hitherto unpublished Spanish manuscripts from (or for) women
of the 16th century. Thus: if you are interested in recipes of Spanish
women of the 16th century, the introductory text contains about 15
recipes (p.52ff.). In addition, there are several recipes from
manuscripts of "confiteros" and from the first printed book in Spanish
about "Confitería" (Baeza 1592).

Someone also mentioned the culinary recipes in the Manual de mugeres
recently. [Manual de mugeres en el qual se contienen muchas y diversas
reçeutas muy buenas (c. 1475-1525). Ed. por Alicia Martínez Crespo.
Salamanca (Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca) 1995. -- Some culinary
recipes, together with medical recipes, beauty recipes, ...]
