Your Grace,
I have so many food restrictions that I would have to limit myself to the
same 3 foodstuffs if I did not do some improvising!! (borrr--ing!) My altered
recipes are NEVER presented as the medieval "real thing". In fact I always
post the original recipe in the beginning of my post. I try as much as I can
to start out with the original recipe, redaction, my changes & explanations
of my changes.
I would be sad indeed if I could never have another taste of a cream soup!
(God bless soy milk)
YIS,
Phillipa

Wouldn't it make more sense to find period recipes that are
consistent with those restrictions instead of altering ones that
aren't? That way the people in question can have a considerably more
medieval experience.
Concern about the health consequences of food is a very period
attitude, and combining that with the religious restrictions results
in a pretty wide range of recipes. Vegetarian recipes, in particular,
are common in the surviving cookbooks.
