>>>> BTW, on a similar subject - I have no medieval cookbooks in my
oversized cookbook collection. Could the good gentles on this list put
forward their ideas for a good (and still available!) first cookbook - I
only read English and am by no means ready to start redacting my own
recipes.<<<
You might find some of the files in the FOOD-BOOKS section of my
Florilegium
to be of use. For instance:
books-food-msg (53K) 12/13/99 Books about food. Not cookbooks.
cb-novices-msg (13K) 10/14/98 Cookbooks for those new to medieval cooking.
cb-rv-Apicius-msg (38K) 4/21/99 Reviews of cookbooks having Apicius recipes.
cb-rv-Platina-msg (19K) 5/11/99 Reviews of cookbooks having Platina recipes.
cb-rv-Taillvt-msg (9K) 7/14/99 Reviews of books having Taillevents recipes
cookbooks-bib (32K) 4/21/97 Cookbook bibliography by Jaelle of Armida.
cookbooks2-bib (14K) 10/ 3/97 Cookbook bibliography by Stephen Bloch.
cookbooks3-bib (20K) 10/14/98 Cookbook bibliography by Lady Allison.
cookbooks-msg (98K) 5/11/99 Reviews of cookbooks with medieval recipes.
Messages posted before September 1995.
cookbooks2-msg (96K) 5/11/99 Reviews posted between 9/95 and 11/97.
cookbooks3-msg (120K) 5/11/99 Reviews posted after 11/97.
cookbooks-SCA-msg (20K) 1/ 7/00 Cookbooks written by people in the SCA.
(I highly recommend some of these for those new to period cooking. These
include Master Cariadoc's books, although I believe the Miscellany is
the only
one with redacted recipes.)
This file might help you find where to obtain them:
merch-cookbks-msg (10K) 8/31/99 Merchants selling period cookbooks.
>>>>I have a particular interest in confectionary, and do not do pastry
(at all! ever! I have been known to wreck pre-made, pre-rolled pastry,
and anyway I don't presently have a working oven - and probably won't
for at least 6 months!)<<<
For some of this you might want to check the files in the FOOD-SWEETS-DECORATED
section such as:
candy-msg (136K) 9/23/99 Period candy. Recipes. Candied fruit peels.
Candying-art (9K) 6/29/99 Period and modern descriptions of
the
candying process by Alys Katharine.
cookies-msg (57K) 1/12/00 Period cookies. Recipes.
desserts-msg (78K) 1/11/00 Medieval and SCA dessert recipes. Sweets.
gingerbread-msg (39K) 1/31/00 Medieval gingerbread. Recipes.
marmalades-msg (53K) 12/20/99 Period marmalades and fruit jellies
and jams
Roses-a-Sugar-art (21K) 7/15/98 "Divers Pretty Things Made Of Roses
& Sugar"
by Mistress Renata Kestryl of Highwynds.
sotelties-msg (152K) 4/15/99 Sotelties and Warners - decorated food.
sugar-paste-msg (89K) 7/20/99 Making sugar paste sotelties.
Sugarplums-art (19K) 7/15/98 "Visions of Sugarplums" by Mistress
Renata Kestryl of Highwynds.
I hope this helps get you started.
